Of the letters of the New Testament, the so-called ApostoZos, the following sections are contained on nine leaves: Rom. 5,17-11,32, the end of Philippians and the beginning of Oolossians, and a small part of First Thessalonians. Since this codex was issued with numbered pages, it has been calculated that 70 leaves have dropped out between Rom. 11, 32 and the present beginning of Philippians. The editor assumes that this section contained Hebrews, the two letters to the Oorinthians, Galatians, and Ephesians. The manuscript is to be dated not later than the third century. Of the Apocalypse ten leaves have been preserved, containing 9, 10-17, 2, the manuscript being dated in the latter half of the third century. Besides this, five leaves of the Book of Enoch were found, with an appendix of an ancient Ohristian homily. This Kenyon assumes to have been written in the fifth century. It has not yet been determined where these leaves were found, but Dr. Schmidt believes one may well conclude that they were found in the villag'e of Atfih, the ancient Aphroditopolis, the home of Antonius, who was the founder of monasticism in Egypt. There can be no doubt that there were churches and monasteries in this neighborhood in considerable numbers, in which consecrated scribes were willing enough to make copies on papyrus after the ancient copies on parchment had been used up in the services of the churches and monasteries.
