Papyrus 125, designated by ๐”“ (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the First Epistle of Peter. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), the manuscripts has been dated by the INTF to the 3rd or 4th century.

Description

Only pieces from one leaf of the codex have survived to the present day. The papyrus is in a fragmentary condition, having extant only 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2:1-4. The text is written in one column per page, 30 lines per page. The Greek text of this codex is probably a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. It was published by Dirk Obbink in 2009.

Location

The manuscript is currently housed in the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library at Oxford with the shelf number P. Oxy. 4934.
