Thread by @nelson_hsieh7

P.Oxy. 5575 has been all the buzz in NT studies and the amount of stuff written about it is piling up, so here's a thread summarizing everything written/spoken on P.Oxy. 5575 so far

(for my benefit, as much as for yours!)

🧵...

The papyrus was published on Aug 31, 2023, in volume 87 of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri (pp. 6-14) as no. 5575 and entitled "Sayings of Jesus"

It was edited by Jeffrey Fish, Dan Wallace, and Mike Holmes

DM me if you'd like to see a copy of the publication

I think Mike Holmes (one of the editors of P.Oxy. 5575) wrote the best overall article that is widely accessible to those who don't know Greek (), and he provided an English translation: bit.ly/44M3IBD

Holmes is especially helpful when he reflects on why the fragment is important, but also being careful with the unknowns

The first article was published on August 31 by @candidamoss who says: "The significance of the fragment lies in its date and contents" dated to 2nd cent. (we only have a few MSS that early), and it contains a mixture of canonical & non-canonical material

@pjgurry has 2 posts at the ETC blog:

(1) An overview, with both 2012 & 2023 photos (August 31):

(2) A synopsis of P.Oxy. 5575, Matt, Luke, and Thomas in Greek (Sept 12): where he's skeptical of including Luke bit.ly/3PoJXe2

On Sept 4, Dan Wallace reflected on his role in publishing P.Oxy. 5575 and is impressed with its early date: late-2nd or early-3rd cent.

everyone has been saying 2nd cent., but Wallace says late-2nd or early-3rd, and similarly in the publication (p. 6)

Mark @goodacre released a 14-minute podcast on Sept 12, along with his own Synopsis in English (see links on the webpage below)

On Sept 9, Brent Nongbri wrote on the palaeography & dating of P.Oxy. 5575; he was slightly skeptical about the 2nd cent. dating

he's especially helpful in providing images of MSS with similar handwriting as P.Oxy. 5575 that are dated to 2nd cent.

There has been some limited discussion of P.Oxy. 5575 on the Textkit Greek and Latin Forums since Sept 5...

Finally, from Sept 6, the Bible Unboxed youtube channel has a 2 minute, 42 second video with English translation and some commentary

Did I miss anything?

UPDATE #1: @pjgurry commented on FB: "It should be added that Mark Goodacre pointed out that if the ανε in line 1 (recto) is the ἀπέθανε of GTh 63.3 then the *order* of sayings is following Luke 12"
