406 Peter M. Head blank at this point); no beginnings or ends of lines are visible, and the second fragment is considerably damaged after the first eight lines. It is normally dated to the end of the third century and contains John 15.25–16,2.21-32. There are no singular readings in the extant text. P28 (P. Oxy 1596; Berkeley, Pacific School of Religion, Palestine Institute, Pap. 2) consists of the lower part of a single leaf (10.7 × 5.2 cm.) containing John 6,8-12.17-22, and was found with other documents of third- fourth century. Grenfell & Hunt noted that the text was “not very correctly spelled” (31); and this manuscript has five singular readings reflecting spelling variations. In terms of spelling we find the following: pentakis]cileioi (recto line 7, at 6,10), which is a common enough confusion; eleben (recto line 7, at 6,11): cf. elaben, which seems like nonsense, but which could conceivably be a confusion caused by pronunciation; engu" (verso line 7, at 6,19): cf. eggu", which clearly is a spelling which reflects pronunciation; fobeisqai (recto line 9, at 6,20): cf. fobeisqe, a common error also related to pronunciation; iden (recto line 13, at 6,22): cf. variants (for eiden with 01 D lat), also probably due to pronunciation. Both the original editors and Elliott & Parker agree in a further singular reading involving the omission of ton (before Ihsoun) at verso, line 6 (6,19), there not being sufficient space for it to the left of the nu which is extant (32). Both the original editors and Elliott & Parker also agree on the need for a singular omission at verso line 2 (6,17), which would otherwise be an unusually long line. They do not, however, agree on what is proposed: Grenfell & Hunt suggested that P28 might follow the word order: kai oupw pro" autou" elhluqei o i–"– (with P75 B N Y 579), but have the shorter ou in place of oupw; while Elliott & Parker propose a larger singular omission of pro" autou" (33). P39 (P. Oxy 1780; formerly: Rochester, Ambrose Swasey Library, Inv. 8864; sold June 2003, current location unknown) contains one side of a whole leaf from a papyrus codex, of perhaps late in the third century, in handsome and spacious layout, with pagination numbering 74 on the recto (text: John 8,14-22). There are no singular readings. Nor are there any singular readings in P80, which in any case only contains a small portion of John 3,34 (III-IV or perhaps later). P6 (Strasbourg, Bibl. Nat. & Univ., Pap. Copt. 379, 381-382, 384) perhaps barely warrants treatment here on the basis of its date (some scholars date it as late as VII-VIII; Rösch, the original editor, suggested V; but Aland has given IV in the Liste); and its general type: it is a bilingual text with alternating portions of Coptic and Greek (Greek text: John 10,1-2.4-7.9-10; 11,1-8.45-52). It is also somewhat out of character in terms of its singular readings, which consist of the following: at first page, line 17-18 (John 10,5) (31) GRENFELL – HUNT, OxyPap XIII (1919) 8. (32) GRENFELL – HUNT, OxyPap XIII (1919) 9; supported by ELLIOTT – PARKER, John. The Papyri, 45. (33) GRENFELL – HUNT, OxyPap XIII (1919) 9, 10; cf. ELLIOTT – PARKER, John. The Papyri, 45.
