ON SOME FRAGMENTS OF AN UNCIAL MS. OF S. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA,

WRITTEN ON PAPYRUS. BY THE REV. JOHN HENRY BERNARD, B, D.,
Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. (PLATES IX., X., XI., XII.
[Read APRIL 13, 1891.
1. Introductory. The MS. described in this Paper was found at

El-Deir, or The Monastery, a Coptic ruin a few miles north of Hawara.
It was bought by Mr. Flinders Petrie from natives who had dug on the
spot, and sent home by him to Mr. Crum, Professor Sayce, and Mr.
Mahafty for examination. In one o f the boxes of Coptic documents
entrusted to Mr. Crum, he observed a number of small fragments of very
fine papyrus, covered with beautiful Greek writing, in uncial characters.
A cursory glance at these showed that they were post-Christian, as,
apart from the style of the handwriting, words such as (XPICTOC),
CHP (CWTHP), zwOnoIoC, were plainly visible. He therefore sent
them to Mr. Mahaffy, who asked me to undertake the task of deciphering
these fragments, as he was himself fully occupied with the early Greek
papyri of the 3rd century B.C.
2. The deciphering of the MS.---Neither of us at first anticipated

that we should be successful in piecing the small and brittle scraps of
papyrus together, as no single line of the original document remained in
its entirety ; and as there was writing on both sides of the papyrus the
expedient of securing the scraps on cardboard could not be adopted.
We accordingly cut out in stiff paper fac-similes of each scrap, and made

an exact copy of the letters that were visible. Seventy-six of such frag
ments were prepared and numbered. After some fruitless investigations,
I observed that the words TO M HT i OGN At, commencing a broken line,
were followed on the next line by the letters +WHCKZ NAB (Fol. G. vq),
which suggested to me that the sentence in the original document was
a quotation from Rom. xiv. 13, To jt rtOevat IrpooK011,Ua Tc a8EX0
o-Kav8aXov. This gave the number of letters on a line, viz. 26. On the
same fragment, a little higher up, arrowheads in the margin indicated
a quotation ; and the words ONOC, TICEI, NPI'YPItN, legible on the
scrap, suggested Exodus xxi. 33, 34, as the source of the quotation. This
was confirmed by the presence of the word A&KKOC (cf. Exodus xxi. 34
on other fragments. Thus it seemed likely that the passage was an
allegorical explanation, in the language of S. Paul, of the precept in
the Book of Exodus which enjoins that if a man digs a pit and the
ox or ass of his neighbour falls into it, the owner of the pit shall make
good the loss. And then the question was, does any Greek Father
explain Exod. xxi. 33 by an appeal to Rom. xiv. 13 The Greek
Fathers are so badly indexed (such of them at Ieast as have not been
edited by the Benedictines that some little time elapsed before I was
enabled to identify the fragment on which I had been engaged with a
passage from the treatise '' On Adoration in Spirit and in Truth," by
S. Cyril of Alexandria (p. 248, Aubert's edition). After this it was easy
to fit in the other fragments. No scrap with a square inch of writing
on it has escaped identification. We have fragments of ten or eleven
folios, nine of which are consecutive ; and in the case of five of these
enough fragments remain to show what the original column of writing
looked like. Autotype fac-similes are given of Folios F. vl, G. vy, H. vj,
I. v (Plates IX. to XII. ).

truth" of the Gospel. The treatise is in seventeen books : Book VII.,

from which our fragments are for the most part taken, is an allegorical
explanation of the precepts relating to charity and brotherly love found in
the Pentateuch.
The authenticity of the treatise has been generally admitted. Oudin

indeed remarks (De Scri,ptoribus Reel., i. p. 1017 that it had been called in
question in the seventeenth century by some, e.g. by Rivetus, in his Critici
Sacri. The chief note of spuriousness alleged was the recognition in it of
the Apocalypse as not only the work of S. John, but as having been gener

Deipara, in the Nitrian Desert. It is plain, from their great number,

that, as we know on other grounds, the writings of Cyril were widely read
and highly prized in Egypt.
No various readings of any importance are contained in this MS.;
there are, indeed, a few variants from the received text, which are noted
in their proper place, but they call for no special remark. A correction
made by a later hand may be observed on Fol. F. rz, line 3, where the
word Toy, omitted by the original scribe before Tavpov, has been inserted.
5. Palaeographical Details.-The interest of the fragments is rather

paleographical than critical ; and the following details are worthy of
notice. As in most early uncial MSS., the writing on the papyrus is
continuous, and the number of abbreviations used is very small. Only
words which have acquired a kind of quasi-technical significance, or
which are of very frequent occurrence (,UVPtoX EKTa), admit of shortened

6. Coptic Forms of A and M .-The character in which the MS. is

written is very like that of the well-known Codex Z, a sixth-century
MS. of S. Matthew's Gospel, which is preserved in the Library of Trinity
College, Dublin, though the writing is smaller than in that famous
palimpsest, in which the letters are unusually large. Codex Z has long
REV. J. H. BERNARD.---Fragments of an Uncial MSS'. of S. Cyril. 657
been believed to have been written in Egypt, on account of the similarity

of its letters to those in Coptic MSS., a supposition which is confirmed
if confirmation were needed-by the discovery in the Fayyum of this
MS., resembling it, as may be seen from the facsimiles, in many peculiar
features. But the writing of our papyrus presents an even more striking
resemblance to that of the Codex Marchalianus of the prophets, ascribed to
the sixth or seventh century, which has been lately published in heliotype
fac-simile with an introduction by the Abbate Ceriani, Librarian of the
Ambrosian Library at Milan. Among the points of similarity it will be
observed that in both MSS. the letters h and M have the peculiar Coptic
shape which we are familiar with in Codox Z.t Dr. Maunde Thompson,
in his Prole to the photographic fac-simile of the Coder Alexandrinus,
which he edited for the trustees of the British Museum, has remarked
that we meet with this A in the title of the Book of Exodus in that
Codex (F..:'-OAOC bJ rYr1TOY ; and with this form of M several times,
e.g.. in the headings to the Books of Deuteronomy and 2 Chronicles.
The fact is interesting, but the inference drawn from the fact by Dr,
Thompson is not quite trustworthy. He concluded that Codex A, if not
actually written in Egypt, must have been moved there very early in its,
history, and thus finds, in the shape of these letters, a confirmation of the
tradition which connects the MS. with Alexandria. But Dr. Gwynn has
pointed out to me that the 'Coptic form of the letter M occurs constantly in
the headings of Codex B and Codex 4, as well as in those of Codex A
(e.g. in B, in the titles of the Psalms, of Jeremiah, and of the Epistle
to the Romans ; and hence it appears that Dr. Thompson's argument
would prove too much, for it would establish the Egyptian origin of
Codices B and R, as well as of A. The only reliable inference we can
make is, that many of the scribes of the early centuries, when these MSS
were written, were either Egyptians themselves, or had received Egyptian
training, or else preserved the Egyptian form of lettering in their headings

work I owe some of the references given in this Paper.
t Scrivener states, in his Introduction to the Criticism of the N. Z'., p. 33, that the shape
of Z in Codex Z is -unique ; this is not accurate, as is shown above.

and titles, just as the title-pages of our books are often printed in archaic
characters. In addition to the MSS. cited by Ceriani we find this peculiar
A in a fragmentary MS., known as T, of the Gospels, a fac-simile of a
scrap of which is given by Tischendorf ; and also in Codex Londinensis,
another fragment edited by the same great critic. Instances of its oc
currence are common in the Greek papyri which have come to light in
recent years ; e.g. it appears in one of the fac-similes recently published
by Wilcken from the Berlin Museum collection, as well as in the Rainer
papyri.
7. Date of MS. It is not necessary to describe the other letters in

our papyrus with such detail, as the fac-similes supply all information of
this sort quite sufficiently. Their forms generally resemble those of the
Codex Marchalianus, as I have remarked already (notice especially the
letters B, A A, J and the large 4). The shapes, however, of E, 0, C, e
deserve special attention. In Codex Z those letters are circular, but in the
Cyril papyrus and the Codex Marchalianus they are narrowed, 0 and 0
being elliptical in shape, and the diameter of the 0 projecting at both sides.
From these indications Montfaucon f concluded that the Codex Marclialianus
was not earlier than the seventh century, and possibly as late as the eighth.
At the time the MS. was written he considered that E, 0, 0, C had
become deflected 11 a prisca rotunditate." But Coriard points out that the
narrow forms of these letters occur in very early papyri, e.g. in the British
Museum Iliad ; and still earlier examples of the same peculiarity may be
seen in the fac-similes published by Mr. Mahaffy. Hence, as Ceriani

Mr. Mahaffy has supplied me with the following note on this important point : It seems
to be assumed in the paheographies which treat of early Christian documents, that the round
uncial character was the first and proximate derivation from lapidary forms, adapted for writing
on parchment or papyrus, and that the oval forms of E, 0, 0, C were degenerations from the
circular (see the Cunningham Memoir, No. VIII., for facts which throw grave doubt upon
this theory). We now know that the earliest writing in capitals on papyrus reproduced the
square E, the circular 0 and 0, and changed the I into C. But the first step onwards, as
REV. J. H. BERNARD.----Tra ments of an Uncial MS. of S. Cyril. 659
remarks, there is no ground for supposing the round form to be older than
the elliptical, at least in Egypt. We have, then, no good reason for
believing our papyrus to be later than Z, and may conclude that it was
written about the sixth century, certainly not later than A.D. 700--this date
coinciding with the most probable date of the Codex Marchalianus, which
it closely resembles. Our papyrus has indeed one mark of even greater
antiquity than the Codex Marchalianus, viz. the large initial letters of the
latter are entirely wanting in the former. Further, the writing does not
slope at all to the right, which was a habit that came in before the end of
the sixth century. Again, the breathing over vowels at the beginning of
a word occurs in only a few places (sea fac-simile of Fol. I. v ), and the
diacritical marks over I and Y are sometimes present, but more frequently
absent. It is possible that these wore added by a later hand. As in
Codex Z, the point indicating a pause in the sense stands indiscriminately
at the head, middle, or foot of the letters, no distinction being made be
tween a comma and a full stop.
8. Arrangement of Sheets.-Ancient papyri were usually in the

form of rolls, but there are not wanting instances of MSS. like this before
us which were in book form. As in Codex Z, the folios of the papyrus
are arranged in quaternions, or quires of four sheets. We have portions
of all four sheets, or sixteen pages of one quaternion, which is numbered at
the top of the last page on the right-hand side I A, or 11 (see fac-simile of
Fol. H. vo). On each page there was one column of twenty-nine or thirty
early as 250 B.c., made the E and C oval, and shows a tendency to do so with both e and 0.
Anterior to this date there was also cursive ~writing in general use, in which these forms were
frequently oval. Thus the writers of the earliest Christian uncials had before them many
specimens of oval forms on papyrus, which they were more likely to copy than the circular
forms of inscriptions upon stone. Unless, therefore, other considerations can be adduced, this
particular test is not conclusive as to the age of a document. It may be true that the circular
forms, which were perhaps no more than a passing fashion, disappeared after a certain date ; it
is not true that the oval forms only came into existence, as degenerations from the round, in the
6th or 7th centuries of our era, for we can now show specimens of them in the 3rd century n.c.
These new facts strongly confirm the argument of the acute and learned Abbate Ceriani, con
cerning the age of the Codex Marchalianus."

lines, and on each line about twenty-six letters ;; hence I have calculated
that the original MS. probably began with Book VI. of the De Adoratione.
Many of the Syriac MSS. of this treatise in the same way only give a part
of the work. How far our papyrus extended we, of course, do not know,
but the last leaf which I have identified contains scraps of the conclusion.
of Book VIII. ; it is the concluding folio of the quaternion which has the
signature IS or 16-a number which con firms the hypothesis that the MS.
began with Book VI.
This last leaf (Fol. K. in transcript is only written on one side, and
there is the beginning of a flourish, or simple arabesque, at the foot.
Also below the last line there are arrowheads >>> visible ; these are
apparently used as finials, just as in the Codex Sinaiticus.
The original size of the sheet of papyrus was 12 inches by 15, and the
breadth of the column of writing is 4 2 inches. The papyrus is of fine
quality, but seems to have been covered with a kind of size, or gum : its
brittleness may very possibly be due to this intermixture, as was supposed
to be the case with the Latin papyri found at Herculaneum. Some tiny
fragments of vellum, covered with minute writing, apparently Latin, were
used in the binding. Whether they are of equal antiquity with the MS.
itself can hardly now be determined ; the Cl1ILraetor of the writing on the
vellum is certainly ancient, but there arc not enough letters left to
enable us to make any reliable inference as to its date. It is quite possible
that the MS. was rebound at the time that the corrections of which
I have spoken were made,

Aubert's edition, Oa'cr c av), four small fragments remain ;; of Foil. B., C., and

Fol. D. v there seems to be a reading different from the received text,

though I cannot determine it. The sixteenth and seventeenth lines ap
parently end with the letters EC and AH respectively. I have not been
able to harmonise this with the printed text (p. 246 B).
At the right hand of Plate IX. (Fol. F. vf there are visible in the
fac-simile traces of a few letters from Fol. C. r (p. 245 A). The arrowheads
indicating a quotation, and the letter b in the margin, marking the point
at which Cyril takes up the dialogue, are here very distinct. In like
manner, at the right hand of Plate XI. (Fol. H. vc the marginal letter A
remains from Fol. A. rw,
I append a transcription of Foll. E., F., G., H., I., and also of Fol. K.,
which is not consecutive with the others, but, as I have already noted, is
the concluding page of Book VIII. The letters in small type are supplied
from the printed text ; the uncials are in the papyrus. Where punctua-
tion marks occur in the papyrus they are given, but I have thought it
better not to supply them from the printed text. In one or two cases,
as will be seen, I have had to guess where the original line began and
ended, but this is positively determinable almost always.
Of Fol. E. we have 6 fragments ; of Fol. F., 10 ; of Fol. G., 8 ; of
Fol. IH., 9 ; of Fol. I., 10 ; of Fol. K., 7'. My thanks are due to
Dr. E. P. Wright, who kindly undertook the delicate task of securing the
brittle fragments of papyrus in their proper order between sheets of glass,
so that very satisfactory negatives have been obtained.

that it is the last folio of the 16th quaternion.
