Papyrus 73 Explained

Papyrus 73 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by ⁷³, is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew. The surviving texts of Matthew are verses 25:43; 26:2-3. The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the 7th century.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, but the text is too brief for certainty. Aland placed it in Category V.^[1]

It is currently housed at the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana (L) in Cologny.^{[1] [2]}
