certain, it would be valuable evidence for continued Jewish use of the LXX (research into this is being carried out, for example, by R.A. Kraft). Interesting, too, is the fact that at least two of these papyri are in codex form, while a late-third-century fragment of Genesis 2–3 (907) is not only in codex form but written on parchment, not papyrus (Bogaert 1985: 199). These and other considerations bring into question the common assumption that use of the codex was an exclusively Christian development.
