Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1007

The Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1007 (also signed as LXXP.Oxy.VII.1007) is a fragment of a Septuagint manuscript (LXX) written in two columns on parchment in codex form. This is one of the manuscripts discovered at Oxyrhynchus. The manuscript has been assigned palaeographically to the 3rd century. Currently the manuscript is kept in the department of manuscripts, in British library located in London (Inv. 2047).

Description

The manuscript contains sections of the Book of Genesis (2:7-9, 2:16-19 recto; 2:23-3:1, 3:6-8 verso). The fragment is difficult to identify as either Christian or Jewish, as on the barely legible recto side (in Gen 2:18) it contains the nomen sacrum ΘΣ (characteristic of Christian manuscripts) and the name of God written with a double Yodh (characteristic of Jewish manuscripts).[1]
