Description
It is one of the manuscripts excavated by Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur Surridge Hunt in Oxyrynchus, Egypt and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City.
Codex 0162 measures 16 cm by 15 cm from a page of 20 lines.[1] Probably it was written by professional scribe.[2] The nomina sacra are contracted: ΙΗΣ ΙΣ ΠΡΣ.
Formerly it was assigned to the 4th century,[1] but Comfort argued that his small omicron belongs rather to the 3rd than 4th century.[2]
The readings of the codex are very close to Papyrus 66 (P66), Papyrus 75 (P75) and Codex Vaticanus (B).[2] It is closer to Vaticanus than Sianiticus.
It is classed as a "consistently cited witness of the first order" in the Novum Testamentum Graece.[3] NA27 considers it even more highly than other witnesses of this type. It provides an exclamation mark (!) for "papyri and uncial manuscripts of particular significance because of their age."[4]
The text was first published by Grenfell and Hunt in The Oxyrhynchus Papyri in 1908.[5]
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 4th century.[1][6]
