Papyrus 32 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. A papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to Titus, it contains only Titus 1:11-15; 2:3-8. On the basis of paleography, the manuscript has been assigned a date around A.D. 200.[1]
It is written in round and rather large letters. A slight tendency towards division of words can be observed. The nomina sacra are abbreviated.[2]
The Greek text of this codex, with the exception of one singular reading, agrees with the common readings of the Alexandrian text-type and Byzantine text-type. Aland described it as "at least normal text", placing it in Category I.[1] This manuscript shows agreement with 01, F, and G wherever they read with the majority of manuscripts, but does not receive any support from them in the placing of παρεχομενοσ after rather than before τυπον in v. 7.
It is currently housed with the Rylands Papyri at the John Rylands University Library (Gr. P. 5) in Manchester.[1] [3]
The papyrus is written on both sides. The characters that are in bold style are the ones that can be seen in . It shows agreement with all the standard edited texts of Titus 1-2 except toward the end of Titus 2:7, where it appears to read αφθονιαν (generosity) instead of αφθοριαν (the Alexandrian reading of 01 02 04) or αδιαφθοριαν (the reading of most other manuscripts of Titus 2), both meaning "incorruption."
