This is a picture of the verso page of P. Oxy 3 403, a Greek papyrus fragment, possibly dating from the late fourth century ce, containing the oldest known fragment of 2 Bar. 12:1-13:2 and 13:11-14:2. The fragment was published by Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt in 1903, but it has generally received far too little attention in scholarship. I am pretty sure that you have never seen this fragment before, and if you happen to have seen it reproduced in Grenfell and Hunt’s edition, you still have not seen the verso page: their list of plates shows only the recto.Follow the link to see the photo.
