Papyrus 99 (Gregory-Aland), designated by 𝔓99, is an early papyrus manuscript with quotations from the Pauline epistles of the New Testament in Greek-Latin. Four leaves have survived.[1][2]

This papyrus is part of the Chester Beatty collection. It is usually considered as a glossary with single words and phrases from:

  • Rom 1:1;
  • 2 Cor 1:3-6, 1:6-17, 1:20-24, 2:1-9, 2:9-5:13, 5:13-6:3, 6:3-8:13, 8:14-22, 9:2-11:8, 11:9-23, 11:26-13:11;
  • Gal 1:4-11, 1:18-6:15, 1:14-2:4, 2:4-3:19, 3:19-4:9;
  • Eph 1:4-2:21, 1:22(?), 3:8-6:24

The text is written in 1 column per page, 27-30 lines per page.

It also contains a Latin lexicon and Greek grammar.[3]

Elliot calls this papyrus '... a haphazard collection of unconnected verses from the Pauline letters [that] could have been a school exercise ...'[4]

The manuscript is housed at the Chester Beatty Library (P. Chester B. Ac. 1499, fol 11–14) in Dublin.[1][2]
