Codex 0162 is one vellum leaf of a late third century Greek codex containing John.
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 11 cm by 15 cm from a page of 20 lines.
Its readings are very close to Papyrus 66 (P66), Papyrus 75 (P75) and Codex Vaticanus (B).[1]
It is classed as a "consistently cited witness of the first order" in the Novum Testamentum Graece.[2] 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."[3]
The text was first published by Grenfell and Hunt in The Oxyrhynchus Papyri in 1908.[4]
