Papyrus 103 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 103, is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew.
Contents |
The surviving texts of Matthew are verses 13:55-56; 14:3-5, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the late 2nd or early 3rd century.
Probably together with Papyrus 77 it belonged to the same codex.[1]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. According to Comfort it is proto-Alexandrian text.
In Matthew 13:55, the name of Jesus' second brother reads [...]ης so that both Ἰωάννης (John) and Ἰωσῆς (Joses) are possible original readings.
The manuscript is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 4403) at Oxford.[2]
