Papyrus P94: Romans 6

P94 is held in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo as P. Cair. 10730. Jean Bingen published it in 1987 in the Miscellània Papirologica Ramon Roca-Puig, after which it entered the Gregory-Aland register as P94. CSNTM provides an exact digital microfilm view linked to the Cairo shelfmark. The accessible catalogues identify Egypt as origin but do not establish a particular excavation, town, archaeological layer, discovery date, or acquisition path. Consequently the artifact's scholarly identity and modern custody are stronger than its archaeological context.

A single small papyrus fragment survives, written in Greek in one column. CSNTM reconstructs a column of approximately twenty-four to twenty-five lines, while only broken portions remain on both faces. Fiber direction and sequential text orient recto and verso; a large amount of the original leaf is missing. The fragment has no surviving title, page number, binding, or complete outer dimensions. Any presentation should show both faces because the two Romans ranges occupy opposite sides. Printed continuous verses necessarily include letters and words restored beyond the extant ink.

The standard catalogues date P94 to the fifth or sixth century by palaeography. No internal date, securely dated deposit, or scientific analysis narrows that interval. The codex represents late-antique Christian book production in Egypt, but its unknown findspot prevents assignment to Cairo in antiquity or to any particular church, school, monastery, or private reader. Its Pauline contents are certain at Romans 6; whether the lost codex contained Romans alone or a larger letter collection is not. The witness is later than several major Pauline manuscripts but remains independently valuable at the readings it actually preserves.
