'''Papyrus 6''' (in the [[Biblical manuscript#Gregory-Aland|Gregory-Aland]] numbering), designated by '''<math>\mathfrak{P}</math>6''' or by ε 021 (in von Soden's numbering), is a fragmentary early copy of the New Testament in [[Greek language|Greek]] and [[Coptic language|Coptic]] (Akhmimic). It is a [[papyrus]] [[manuscript]] of the [[Gospel of John]] that has been dated [[Palaeography|paleographically]] to the 4th century. The manuscript also contains text of the [[First Epistle of Clement]], which is a canonical book of the New Testament for the [[Coptic Church]]. The major part of the codex is lost.

The Greek text of the codex has several unusual textual variants.

== Description ==

The codex contains text of the [[First Epistle of Clement]] in Coptic (Akhmimic dialect) on the first 26 pages of the manuscript, Coptic [[Epistle of James]] on the pages 91-99, and Greek and Coptic Gospel of John on the page 100. Pages 27-90 have not survived. About 25 pages contained the rest of the text of the First Epistle of Clement and one page of text of James 1:1-12, but there were about 28 pages with unknown content. According to Friedrich Rösch there is not space for the [[Second Epistle of Clement]].<ref>Friedrich Rösch, [http://www.archive.org/stream/bruchstckedese00clemuoft#page/viii/mode/2up ''Bruchstücke des ersten Clemensbriefes nach dem achmimischen Papyrus der Strassburger Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek''] (Strasbourg, 1910), p. VIII.</ref>

The original size of pages probably measured 28 cm by 15 cm. According to the reconstruction the text of the codex was written in one column per page, 30 lines per page.<ref name = Aland>{{Cite book

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the [[Alexandrian text-type]]. [[Kurt Aland]] placed it in [[Categories of New Testament manuscripts#Category II|Category II of New Testament manuscripts]], because it has some alien readings.<ref name = Aland/>

[[Caspar René Gregory]] did not try to estimate its date.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gregory|first=Caspar René|authorlink=Caspar René Gregory|title=Die griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testament|url=http://www.archive.org/stream/diegriechischen00greggoog#page/n57/mode/2up|year=1908|publisher=J.

The manuscript was discovered in Egypt. It was the second manuscript with translation 1 Epistle of Clement into Coptic and the first in Akhmimic dialect. The Greek text of the codex was published by Gregory in 1908. Friedrich Rösch published the text of the whole manuscript Coptic and Greek in 1910.

It is currently housed at the [[Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire]] (Pap. copt. 379. 381. 382. 384) in [[Strasbourg]].<ref name = Aland/><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/ListeHandschriften.php?ObjID=10006|title=Handschriftenliste|publisher=Institute for New Testament Textual Research|accessdate=23 August 2011|location=Münster}}</ref>
