Papyrus 98 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by ${\mathfrak {P}}$⁹⁸, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Book of Revelation. The manuscript palaeographically had been assigned to the late 2nd century.

Description

The surviving text of Revelation are verses 1:13-2:1 in a fragmentary condition. The script is a well-formed and large. It was formed in a scroll. The biblical text is on the side verso. On the recto is another documentary text dated to the end of the 1st century or the beginning of the 2nd century. Side verso of the scroll was used for the biblical text at the end of the 2nd century.

It has error of dittography in the first line – περι̣εζωσμμ̣εν̣ον instead of περιεζωσμενον.

Text

It is still not placed in any of Aland's Categories of New Testament manuscripts. "The text shows several differences from that printed in Nestle-Aland 27th".

In Rev 1:18 it lacks the phrase και ο ζων as Latin Codex Gigas and some manuscripts of Vulgate. It is the only one Greek manuscript which does not contain this phrase.
