Quick Facts Name, Text ...

According to Comfort, Papyrus 77 together with Papyrus 103 probably belong to the same codex.[2]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland ascribed it as an “at least normal text”, and placed it in Category I.[3] 𝔓77 has the closest affinity with Codex Sinaiticus.[2]

It is currently housed at the Sackler Library (P. Oxy. 2683) in Oxford.[3][4]

Textual Variants

  • 23:30: Rearranges the words αυτων κοινωνοι (their partners) to κοινωνοι αυτων ('partners of them').
  • 23:37: Has variant spelling ορνιξ for ορνις (hen).
  • 23:37: Originally omitted και from the text. Scribe added it later superlinearly between πτερυγας and ουκ.
  • 23:38: According to the transcription from the University of Münster Institute for New Testament Textual Research, the scribe omitted ερημος (desolate).[5] According to the transcription of Philip Comfort and David Barrett however, the scribe included it.[6]
