P64/P67
Papyrus 64 + 67 (Magdalen Papyrus + Barcelona fragments)c. 200disputed
Early copy of Matthew in a professional hand, and a key exhibit in the debate over whether four-gospel codices existed before 200.
Datingdisputed
Roberts dated it c. 200; INTF 200-225. C. P. Thiede (1994) claimed a date before AD 70, a view rejected by almost all papyrologists. T. C. Skeat argued P4, P64 and P67 are one four-gospel codex of the late 2nd century; others (e.g. S. Charlesworth) argue they are two codices by the same scribe.See the pages
