Papyrus 132 (designated as 𝔓132 in the Gregory-Aland numbering system) is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Ephesians. The text survives on a single fragment with four to five lines containing a few letters each of 3:21, 4:1, and 4:2 on one side, and of 4:14,15, and 16 on the other. The manuscript has been assigned paleographically to the third or fourth century.[1]
Location[edit]
𝔓132 is housed at the Sackler Library (P. Oxy. 81 5258) at the University of Oxford.[2]
Textual variants[edit]
The text is very fragmented, but several textual variants can nonetheless be identified by reconstructing the text in comparison with other ancient manuscripts of Ephesians, and by utilizing letter-spacing to identify character sequences which are likely missing.
- 3:21 - The character sequence ια εν indicates that the Alexandrian reading και (and), whose presence is directly supported by 𝔓46 01 02 03 04 0278 6 33 81 104* 365 614 1175 1241supp 1739 1881, and indirectly by 06 10 12, is absent in 𝔓132.
- 4:15 - According to the reconstruction of Smith, 𝔓132 contains the sequence ος εστιν Χς (which is Christ). The usual reading of η κεφαλη ο (the head, the) following ος εστιν, was apparently omitted.
