Papyrus Chester Beatty V

The Papyrus Chester Beatty V (also named as Rahlfs 962, LDAB 3109, TM 61952, TC OT11, vHTR 7 and Rep I AT 4) is a fragment of a Greek Septuagint (an early translation of the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek) manuscript written on papyrus.

Using the study of comparative writing style (palaeography), it has been dated to the late 3rd century CE.

[1]: 264 Twenty-seven leaves are preserved, of which 17 are in good condition and the other 10 are fragments.

[1]: 265  It is the oldest testimony of these passages in the Egyptian version of the Septuagint text.

The fragments were acquired in Egypt before the end of 1931 by the American collector Alfred Chester Beatty and are now in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin with the siglum P. Ch.
