The papyrus is written on both sides, indicating this was likely acodex (the precursor to the modernbook). It is currently housed at theSackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 3523) inOxford.[2][3]
The Greek text of this codex is considered a representative of theAlexandrian text-type. Due to its early date, Biblical scholarKurt Aland placed it inCategory I of his New Testament classification system.[2]
Papyrologist and biblical scholarPhilip W. Comfort says "𝔓90 has [close] textual affinity with𝔓66 ... [and] some affinity withCodex Sinaiticus (א)."[4]

unto the Jews: but now this kingdom of
mine is not from hence. Said
therefore to him Pilate, "Then
a king thou art?" answered Jesus, "Thou said
that king I am. For this I
have been born, and for this
I have come into the world, so that
I would testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the
