Papyrus 126 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by siglum 𝔓¹²⁶, is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Hebrews.

Description[edit]

To the present day survived only fragment from one leaf. The surviving texts of Hebrews are verses 13:12-13.19-20, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the 4th century (INTF).^[1]

The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page (originally). The size of the fragment is 3.7 by 9.1 cm (original size 30 cm by 16 cm).^[1]

Textual Variant[edit]

In 13:12, Bastianini reconstructs the text as reading εξω της πυλης της παρεμβολης επαθεν, a unique reading that appears to conflate 𝔓⁴⁶'s reading εξω τησ παρεμβολησ επαθεν with the standard reading εξω της πυλης επαθεν (01 omits επαθεν).
