| SAHIDIC CODEX OF ACTS |
|
 |
The specimen shown in Plate XI (above) is
taken from the MS. of Acts mentioned above, which is the oldest substantial
MS. of the Sahidic version.
It is a papyrus codex, and a note at the
end is written in a common non-literary hand of about the middle of the
fourth century.
The MS. itself, therefore, is not later than that date.
The page reproduced contains Acts viii.34-ix.3.
Verse 37 (the eunuch's
declaration of faith) is omitted, as it is by א A
B C, etc.
