Papyrus 112


Papyrus 112, designated by ?112, is a fragment from a portion of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript from the Acts of the Apostles. The surviving portions are parts of Acts 26:31-32 and, on the other side of the sheet, Acts 27:6-7. It is written in uncial characters of uniform size, without any diacritical marks or spacing between words. ὁ ἄνθρωπος is written in the Nomen Sacrum form ὁ ἄνος, with a single overline. Based on palaeography, the manuscript has been assigned to the 5th century by the INTF.
The manuscript is currently housed at the Sackler Library at Oxford.

Text

In Acts 26:31 it appears to be missing τι, which is found in only about a dozen Greek manuscripts, including Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Alexandrinus, and is supported by most manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate.
Following ὁ ἄνος οὗτ at the end of Acts 26:31, it skips to the next ὁ ἄνος οὗτος in the following verse, leaving out Ἀγρίππας δὲ τῷ Φήστῳ ἔφη, Ἀπολελύσθαι ἐδύνατο. This is also done in Greek minuscules 326 and 2464.
Following Acts 26:32 it has τως ἔκρι αὐτὸν ἀν. This is slightly transposed from a reading also found in the Greek minuscules 97 and 421, supported by the Old Latin h and a textual note in the margin of the Harclean Syriac.
In Acts 27:7 it has the transposition βρας εν δε ικαναις ημεραις. Αll other witnesses have this sentence in [the word order: εν ικαναις δε ημεραις βραδυπλοουντες.
