Housing location Oxford, England: Ashmolean Museum
Bibliography K. Treu, Oxyrhynchus Papyri LX, no. 4010, 5-7.
Textual character This manuscript was not given a Nestle-Aland papyrus number because it contains an introductory prayer before the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13). Nevertheless, it is the earliest witness (along with codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus) not to include any kind of doxology after Matthew 6:13. Therein is its importance. This transcription will present only Matthew 6:0-13 (and not the introductory prayer)
