| 100-150 A.D. (Hunger) or 125-175 A.D. (Philip Comfort and
Barrett) c.200-250 A.D. (Turner due to broad delta, broad theta, narrow
alpha, finial end on the crossbar of epsilon, apostrophe between double

these features. This was discovered close to Nag Hamadi (second century).
Hunger has found many late first and early second centuries manuscripts that
are closer to p66 than 3rd century documents. |
