Neutestamentliche Texte aus Khirbet Mird P83 und 0244

Abstract

The University of Leuven (Belgium) preserves a collection of various fragments found in Khirbet Mird in 1952. Among them are fragments of three codices with text of the New Testament, two of which (P 83 , 0244) are here published with detailed manuscript descriptions and palaeographical and codicological notes. Complete transcriptions and photographs are also included. Pp 83 exists in two small fragments of a Matthew codex, which can be dated to the 6th century. The text of one of them has been lost since about 1980 because of a water damage; it can only be read from earlier photographs. Of the majuscule 0244 there exists only one fragment - written on parchment - which belonged to a codex with text from Acts. It can be dated to the 5th century. Because of its unusual line division it seems to be originally a bilingual manuscript.
