Description
![](#/media/File:Florence,_Papyrological_Institute_"G._Vitelli"_Ms_PSI_XV_1497_-_PSI_inv._2176_(Papyrus_126)_verso_Heb_13,_19-20.jpg)
To the present day survived only fragment from one leaf. The surviving texts of Hebrews are verses 13:12-13.19-20, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the 4th century (INTF).[1]
The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page (originally). The size of the fragment is 3.7 by 9.1 cm (original size 30 cm by 16 cm).[1]
Textual Variant
In 13:12, Bastianini reconstructs the text as reading εξω της πυλης της παρεμβολης επαθεν, a unique reading that appears to conflate 𝔓46's reading εξω τησ παρεμβολησ επαθεν with the standard reading εξω της πυλης επαθεν (01 omits επαθεν).
History
The manuscript was announced by the Papyrological Institute in Florence in 2003. The text of the codex was published in 2008.[2] In 2009, Claire Clivaz signaled it to the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) and the manuscript was catalogued on the INTF list of the New Testament manuscripts.[3][4]
The manuscript currently is housed at the Istituto Papirologico „G. Vitelli" at Florence with the shelf number PSI inv. 2176 (PSI XV 1497).[1]
