Papyrus 115 (''P. Oxy.'' 4499, designated by 115 in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a fragmented manuscript of the New Testament written in Greek on papyrus. It consists of 26 fragments of a codex containing parts of the Book of Revelation, and probably nothing more.〔 It dates to the 3rd century, ca. 225-275 AD.〔Juan Chapa, ''Oxy. Pap.,'' 66:11-39, no. 4499〕 Grenfell and Hunt discovered the papyrus in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt. 115 was not deciphered and published until the end of the 20th century. It is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum. == Description == The original codex had 33-36 lines per page of 15.5 cm by 23.5 cm. The surviving text includes Revelation 2:1-3, 13-15, 27-29; 3:10-12; 5:8-9; 6:5-6; 8:3-8, 11-13; 9:1-5, 7-16, 18-21; 10:1-4, 8-11; 11:1-5, 8-15, 18-19; 12:1-5, 8-10, 12-17; 13:1-3, 6-16, 18; 14:1-3, 5-7, 10-11, 14-15, 18-20; 15:1, 4-7. The manuscript has evidence of the following nomina sacra: , , , , , , , , , , , , . The manuscript uses the Greek Numeral system, with no number extant as being written out in full.〔 The manuscript is a witness to the Alexandrian text-type, following the text of Codex Alexandrinus (A) and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (C).〔Philip W. Comfort, ''Encountering the Manuscripts. An Introduction to New Testament Paleography & Textual Criticism'', Nashville, Tennessee: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2005, p. 77.〕 An interesting textual variant of 115 is that it gives the number of the beast in Revelation 13:18 as 616 (chi, iota, sigma (ΧΙϚ)), rather than the majority reading of 666 (chi, xi, sigma (ΧΞϚ)), as does Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus. According to the transcription of the INTF, the manuscript would've read [] η (''666 or 616''), therefore not giving a definite number.〔http://ntvmr.uni-muenster.de/manuscript-workspace/?docID=10115&pageID=160〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Papyrus 115」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
