Papyrus 18 (in theGregory–Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓18, is an early copy of theNew Testament inGreek. It is apapyrusmanuscript containing the beginning of theBook of Revelation. It contains onlyRevelation 1:4–7. It is written against the fibres of the papyrus. On the other side of the papyrus is the ending of the book ofExodus. It is unclear whether the papyrus was a scroll of Exodus later reused for a copy of Revelation or a leaf from a codex with miscellaneous contents.[1] The two sides of the papyrus were copied in different hands, but the original editor of the papyrus did not think there was a great interval of time between the copying of the two sides. He assigned the Exodus to the third century and the Revelation to the third or early fourth century.[2]
