Papyrus 90
Papyrus 90 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by
90, is a small fragment from the Gospel of John 18:36-19:7 dating palaeographically to the late 2nd century.
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category I (because of its date).
Comfort says "
90 has [close] textual affinity with
66 ... [and] some affinity with א (Aleph)."
It is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 3523) in Oxford.
Greek text
The papyrus is written on both sides. The characters that are in bold style are the ones that can be seen in
90.
