| Description | KV22 Papyrus fragment containing parts of Eusebius Historia ecclesiastica 6:43.7-8 and 11-12. The small fragment 7 lines of text on the recto and the verso.

The text contains marked breathings and accentuation (rough breathing in l. 5, recto and l. 5 verso; grave accent in l. 6, recto; acute accent in l. 6, verso). After the publication of the ed. pr., the text was identified as part of Eusebius's Church history by J. Callaghan; see ref. ed. The fragment is possibly the first papyrus witness of this work, or of its preliminary stage, and contains parts of a letter from the Roman bishop Cornelius to Bishop Fabius of Antioch; see Treu 1978: 154. |
