Papyrus P85, dated by the CSNTM catalog to the 4th–5th century, physically preserves Revelation 9:19–20 as part of the early manuscript transmission of the New Testament.
A single Greek parchment leaf from Oxyrhynchus preserving Revelation 3:19-4:3. Directly witnesses the Laodicean call to repent and the opening throne-room vision, passages central to Revelation's transition from letters to vision.
An unprovenanced limestone slab carries eighty-seven lines of a fragmentary Hebrew revelatory text written in ink and associated with Gabriel. It illuminates late Second Temple apocalyptic language if authentic, but market provenance, damaged readings, and a published forgery challenge require exceptional caution.

A late-third-century papyrus from Oxyrhynchus preserves a Greek Christian hymn with vocal notation. Its call for the cosmos to praise Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the earliest surviving substantial Christian song whose music can be read, though performance details remain uncertain.
