Description

P.Oxy. XIII 1598; Gregory-Aland P30; Gregory-Aland 𝔓30; NT30

Four fragments that constitute two consecutive folios from a codex probably containing the Pauline epistles. The fifth fragment was later identified and placed within the edition; see Comfort / Barrett 2001: 128-133. The folios have preserved their pagination, and thus comprise pages 207-210 in the codex.

The text contains the Pauline 1 Thessalonians 4:12- 2 Thessalonians 1:2.
