Papyrus 108 is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, containing verses 17:23-24 (the end of the Farewell Discourse) and 18:1-5 in a fragmentary condition. It is designated by the siglum in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparartive writing styles (paleography), it has been assigned to the late 2nd or early 3rd Century CE. The manuscript is currently housed at the Papyrology Rooms (P. Oxy. 4447) of the Sackler Library at Oxford University.
Description
The original manuscript would've been around 14.5 cm x 18.5 cm is size, with 23 lines per page. The handwriting script is representative of the reformed Documentary style. The text is considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Although small, the manuscript concurs with Codex Sinaiticus. It has itacistic error in John 17:23 (óõùýÃÂÃÂú÷ instead of óùýÃÂÃÂú÷).
