The Fayyum Fragment (Papyrus Vindobonensis Greek 2325) is a papyrus fragment containing text that could be from part of the New Testament, and consists of only about 100 Greek letters. The fragment was originally discovered in Al-Fayyum, Egypt, and was translated in 1885 by Gustav Bickell after it was found in the papyrus collection of Archduke Rainer Joseph of Austria in Vienna. The surviving manuscript is badly damaged and has fewer than a hundred Greek letters preserved.

  • The Fayyum Fragment (Papyrus Vindobonensis Greek 2325) is a papyrus fragment containing text that could be from part of the New Testament, and consists of only about 100 Greek letters. The fragment was originally discovered in Al-Fayyum, Egypt, and was translated in 1885 by Gustav Bickell after it was found in the papyrus collection of Archduke Rainer Joseph of Austria in Vienna. The surviving manuscript is badly damaged and has fewer than a hundred Greek letters preserved. Because of its style of handwriting it is believed to have been copied around the end of the third century. The text seems to parallel Mark 14:26-31, appearing to present a more abbreviated account. It is unclear whether the fragment is an abridged version of the synoptic gospels, or a source text on which they were based, perhaps the apocryphal Gospel of Peter. The text reads: {{quote2col |width=100% |border = #ccccff solid 2px |gutter=10px |hdalign=left |header= Papyrus Vindobonensis 2325 |lmargin=2em |quote1= ... ε]ξαγειν ως ε[ι]πε[ν] οτι, Α[παντες][εν ταυτη] τη νυκτι σκανδαλισ[θησεσ-][θε κατα] το γραφεν· Παταξω τον [ποιμε-][να, και τα] προβατα διασκορπισθησ[ονται. ει-][ποντος το]υ Πετ{ρου}· Και ει παντες, ο[υκ εγω.... ][...
