| Description | Pap.Flor. XLV 3; KV66; P.Bon. 1 + P.Haun. inv. 319; A papyrus fragment ( 17.5 x 10.3 cm) from a codex containing Origenes Homily 35 on Luke, and Homily 25 (?) on Matthew. The homilies are written in the codex format, and the folio is structured so that the verso precedes the recto. The first 8 lines of text comprise the end of the 35th homily on Luke. Line 9 gives a title: εἰς τὸ κατὰ Μα<θ>θαῖον, which introduces a segment of either a homily or a commentary on Matth. 24.7. This occupies the rest of the lines (lines 10-22) on the verso as well as the entirety of the recto. The script is a slightly right-leaning, careful uncial, and punctuation takes the shape of double points. The text contains several nomina sacra, and there is a decorative divider in l. 9 before the title that introduces the section on Matthew. A rough breathing is marked in l. 7. The fragment appears to be from a copy contemporary to, or slightly later, than Origenes himself; see VanHaelst 1976: 248. |
