Papyrus 7 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), or ε 11 (von Soden), designated by 𝔓7,[1] is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Luke 4:1-2. Possibly it is a patristic fragment (like e.g. P. Oxy. 405, fragment of Against Heresies by Irenaeus containing Gospel of Matthew 3:16-17). The manuscript had been difficult to date palaeographically, because of its fragmentary condition. It had been assigned to the 4th–6th century (or even the 3rd century).
Text
[edit]The Greek text of this codex is too brief to classify (possibly it is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type). Aland did not place it in any of Categories of New Testament manuscripts.[2]
C. R. Gregory examined the manuscript in 1903 in Kiev.[3]
Location
[edit]It is currently housed at the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (Petrov 553) in Kyiv.[2][4]
