Papyrus 1
Papyrus 1 is an early papyrus manuscript of one chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in Greek. It is designated by the siglum 𝔓1 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts, and as ε 01 in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it is dated to the early 3rd century. It was discovered in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt. It is currently housed at the University of Pennsylvania Museum (E 2746).
The manuscript was likely a codex (precursor to the modern book format), of which a fragment of one leaf has survived. The text is written in one column per page, 27–29 lines per page, roughly sized 14.7 cm (6 in) by 15 cm (6 in). The original codex was arranged in two leaves in quire form.
The surviving text of Matthew are verses 1:1–9,12 and 13,14–20. The words are written continuously without separation. Accents and breathings are absent, except two breathings which are a smooth breathing on fifth letter (ωβηδ ἐκ) in line 14 of the verso and a rough breathing on the fourth letter to last letter (ἡ συν) in line 14 of the recto. The manuscript includes the nomina sacra (early abbreviations of names/titles considered sacred in Christianity), of which the following are witnessed:: ΙϹ (ιησους / Jesus), XC (χριστος / Christ), YC (υιος / son), ΠΝΑ (πνευμα / Spirit), KΣ (κυριος / Lord).
The Greek text of this codex is considered to be a representative of the Alexandrian. Biblical scholar Kurt Aland placed it in Category I of his New Testament manuscript classification system.
According to scholars, 𝔓1 has close agreement with Codex Vaticanus. It supports Vaticanus in 1:3 in reading ζαρε (against ζαρα). Ten of the variants are in the spelling of names in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Biblical scholar Herman C. Hoskier, who found 17–20 word variations (see below), denied close agreement with Vaticanus.
