'''Papyrus 62''', also known as ‘‘Papyrus Osloensis’’, is a copy of the [[New Testament]] and [[Septuagint]] in [[Greek language|Greek]] and [[Coptic language|Coptic]] known as a [[diglot]]. It is designated by the [[siglum]] {{papyrus|62}} in the [[Biblical manuscript#Gregory–Aland|Gregory-Aland]] numbering of New Testament manuscripts. It is a [[papyrus]] [[manuscript]] of the [[Gospel of Matthew]] and [[Book of Daniel]] in a fragmentary condition. Using the study of comparative writing styles ([[palaeography]]), it has been assigned to the 4th century CE.

== Description ==

The original manuscript would have been a [[codex]] (precursor to the modern [[book]]) made of papyrus. Unfortunately it has only survived in a fragmentary condition, containing evidence of Matthew 11:25-30, Daniel 3:51-53, and some verses from the [[Book of Odes (Bible)|Book of Odes]].{{r|Udo}} The Daniel and Odes portions are labelled as Papyrus 994 in the Alfred Rahlf's numbering of Greek Septuagint manuscripts.<ref name="Udo">{{Cite book | first1=Kurt | last1=Aland | author-link1=Kurt Aland | first2=Hans-Udo | last2=Rosenbaum | title=Repertorium der Griechischen Christlichen Papyri | page=54 | year=1976 | publisher=Walter de Gruyter | location=Berlin | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IJAc9tnzq9QC&dq=P.+%22Osloensis+1661%22&pg=PA54}}</ref> The surviving fragments evidence around 13 leaves of the original codex. The text is written in one column per page, 7 lines per column, 7-12 letters in line.{{r|Udo}} It has [[Diaeresis (diacritic)|diaeresis]] over the letter [[ypsilon|upsilon]].{{r|Udo}}
