E_A, the archive's entity: the same collection, in the Revelation First census record and the archive's deposits: the collection site of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, at the intersection of papyrology and textual discovery, whose evidence answers which texts it holds and where they are published and does not answer the composition dates of the works copied or which New Testament papyri it holds; read by the census as a principal find-site of early Christian papyri, to be checked against its own lists; its New Testament papyri a class to which the archive applies the papyrological inversion, under the limit that the dates of copies do not establish composition dates (#202, #832, #636); its single papyri seated, read and counted by the archive (the Thomas trio, #1531; the Tithonus poem, #858; P.Oxy. 2076, #1443; 𝔓115's 616, #1101); its find-site read for what survives (#1601, #567); its discipline read as papyrology's (#1443); and its name composed at Google's AI Overview from its encyclopedia (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31) RF-05 RF-06 RF-15 RF-16 RF-17 O202-01 O832-02 O636-01 D1531-01 D858-01 D1443-01 D1101-01 D1601-01 O567-01 O1443-01 CAP-1-07; defining papers #202, #832, #1531, #858, #1601, #1443, #71, #636

E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: a papyrus collection and its site)): the collection of texts on papyrus and parchment belonging to the Egypt Exploration Society and housed in Oxford's Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library, the largest of its kind (the site; the EES), a group of manuscripts Grenfell and Hunt found at an ancient rubbish dump near Oxyrhynchus (Wikipedia), most from their 1896–1907 excavations, others from Antinoopolis; dated from the second century BCE (the site) or the third (the EES; Wikipedia) to the seventh century CE; thousands of texts, or over 500,000 fragments, 6000 published; mostly documents, an estimated 10% literary; the source of 52 of the 127 registered New Testament papyri and of six witnesses to Revelation; published since 1898 in the Graeco-Roman Memoirs; its papyri housed in institutions all over the world

ρ = extends: The archive reads the Oxyrhynchus Papyri as their own pages and the encyclopedia present them and adds, on the field's own object: the census's question and its reading of the collection as a find-site of early Christian papyri, to be checked; the papyrological inversion on the class of New Testament papyri, with its limit and its falsifier; claims on single papyri of the collection (the Thomas trio seated and verified, the Tithonus poem's variants, the lacunae of P.Oxy. 2076, 616 in 𝔓115, the absence of any witness to Sappho 31's fifth stanza); what a rubbish tip selects for; papyrology's precedent for the archive's Lacuna Protocol; and the composition at the name. Its contradictions with the field (rolls or codices, 𝔓18's date) and with its own record (𝔓52's findspot) are composed within the one ontology under P_coh. RF-17 RF-16 O202-01 O202-02 O832-02 D1531-01 D858-02 D1443-01 D1101-01 D1052-01 D1601-01 O1443-02 D71-02 O636-01 D828-01 CAP-1-03. Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more (§1.2a); where an archive claim contradicts a field claim (D71-02 against F36, O636-01 against F33) or an archive record (D828-01 against CAP-1-03), both are composed under P_coh in one ontology

The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity. The Revelation First census record describes the Oxyrhynchus Papyri from the collection's own page, each field with its basis ('operator'), places it in papyrology and textual discovery, and keeps its one reading of its own, rf_intersection, apart: that Oxyrhynchus is a principal find-site of early Christian papyri, a bearing 'to be checked against the collection's own lists'. The capture record checks the composition against those pages. The deposits that name the collection or its papyri add claims on the field's own object and its classes: papyri of the collection seated, read, dated and counted (#1531, #858, #1443, #1052, #1101, #1509), what the find-site means for survival (#1601, #567), the papyrological inversion applied to the class of New Testament papyri, with its stated limit that copies do not date compositions (#202, #832, #636), and papyrology as a discipline whose precedent the archive takes up (#1443). Where an archive claim meets a field claim on the same point (rolls or codices, #71 against the table's note; 𝔓18's date, #636 against the table; 𝔓52's findspot, #828 against the registry), both are composed under P_coh. No defining paper contests the field's ontology of the entity or supplies one the field lacks: ρ = extends, the equal-terms case (§0.9, §1.2a).

#202 Claim 3 (p11): Papyrological dates are ranges, not certainties — but that is precisely the point: where composition dates are themselves inferential, and where manuscript dates are contestable ranges rather than fixed coordinates, material attestation must be allowed to unsettle inherited priority.

#832 p61: The section does not argue that papyrological dating of copies establishes composition dates.

#1531 p18: three independent copies in three hands from one town's rubbish, TM numbers 62840/62838/62839 verified through the DCLP records themselves.

#1601 p232: **Neither mechanism selects for importance. Both select for what was thrown away under the right conditions.**

#RF census.json rows[slug == 'oxyrhynchus-online'].rf_intersection: Papyrological inversion and dating: Oxyrhynchus is a principal find-site of early Christian papyri. The saved page does not list them, so the bearing on the workstream is the archive's reading, to be checked against the collection's own lists.

equal-terms case: every field claim composed as received, beside the archive claims it stands with. Reading the received column recovers the field (§5.9).

v0.9 §4.10: KO_B sentences surviving in the KO at similarity ≥ 0.95, with positions (computed as apply_v09.py does: difflib.SequenceMatcher ratio, the best KO sentence for each KO_B sentence): v0.9 0 of 14 (positions [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]; composed first under v0.9, so there is no v0.7 object to measure against). Opening-run check (§5.10): no breach.

The Oxyrhynchus Papyri collection belongs to the Egypt Exploration Society, is housed in Oxford's Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library and comprises thousands of texts on papyrus and parchment, the largest of its kind (Oxford collection site), its owner calling itself custodian of the largest collection of ancient papyri in the world, kept in the library's Papyrology Rooms by appointment (EES). The papyri are a group of manuscripts found by Grenfell and Hunt at an ancient rubbish dump near Oxyrhynchus (Wikipedia), most of them from the 1896–1907 excavations for the Egypt Exploration Fund and its Graeco-Roman Branch, at sites around the Faiyum and above all Oxyrhynchus, others from Antinoopolis in 1913–14 (Oxford collection site; EES). The texts date from the second century BCE (Oxford collection site) or the third century BCE (EES; Wikipedia, whose short description says 32 BC, and the second card) to the seventh century CE or 640 AD, mostly in Greek, with Egyptian, Coptic, Latin and Arabic and a few Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Pahlavi texts (Oxford collection site; EES; Wikipedia). The site counts thousands of texts, the Society over 500,000 fragments and 6000 texts published, the best published of the major collections, and the encyclopedia over 5,000 transcribed, 1 to 2% of half a million papyri remaining (Oxford collection site; EES; Wikipedia). About 10% are literary and most are public and private documents, contracts, censuses and other legal matters (Wikipedia), the site ordering them principally literary, documentary and other texts (Oxford collection site). A large corpus of literary works thought lost was recovered, the claim unsourced in the encyclopedia: Menander, Sophocles' Ichneutae, Pindar, Sappho, Euclid's diagrams and an epitome of Livy (Wikipedia). The papyri are the most numerous sub-group of the earliest New Testament copies, 52 of 127 registered New Testament papyri, the earliest from the mid-2nd century, the first found in the winter of 1896–7 (Wikipedia), titled on a video card early Christian manuscripts (YouTube). Six witnesses to Revelation come from the site, 𝔓18, 𝔓24 and 𝔓115 and the parchment 0163, 0169 and 0308, dated 300 to 450 by the table (Wikipedia). The Christian texts include non-canonical gospels and some twenty apocrypha, among them the three Greek manuscripts of Thomas, P.Oxy. 1, 654 and 655, dated 200 and codices by the table's note (Wikipedia). The papyri are housed in institutions worldwide, a substantial number in Oxford (Wikipedia), and the Society keeps records of the excavations and of the finds' distribution, images of papyri held elsewhere being those institutions' to permit (EES). Scholars publish the material continuously (Oxford collection site) in the Graeco-Roman Memoirs (EES), a series begun in 1898, 86 volumes on one count and at volume LXXXVIII in May 2025 on another (Wikipedia). The site offers publications, images, a current project, a location list and a virtual exhibition (Oxford collection site), and the encyclopedia links the Oxford project and Oxyrhynchus Online (Wikipedia). The AHRC and the British Academy fund the collection's care and publication as a British Academy Major Project (EES), the AHRC's film on the project being one of four video cards (YouTube). The other videos ask what the papyri are and show manuscript discoveries at Oxyrhynchus (YouTube, titles only).

The Oxyrhynchus Papyri are, on the collection's own site, a collection "belonging to the Egypt Exploration Society and housed in Oxford's Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library" that "comprises thousands of texts on papyrus and parchment and is the largest of its kind in the world" (Oxford collection site), recorded by the Revelation First census as the collection site of the papyri, with images, publications, a location list and a virtual exhibition, under the further names POxy and Oxyrhynchus Online (Revelation First record). The encyclopedia defines them as "a group of manuscripts discovered during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by papyrologists Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur Surridge Hunt at an ancient rubbish dump near Oxyrhynchus in Egypt" (Wikipedia); the Society calls itself "the custodian of the largest collection of ancient papyri in the world" (EES); the census records the site's "largest of its kind" as its finding, with the EES as operator and the Oxford library as house (Revelation First record), the papyri kept in the Papyrology Rooms of the Bodleian Art, Archaeology, and Ancient World Library, open by appointment only (EES). The collection is not the whole find: the papyri "are currently housed in institutions all over the world", a substantial number in the Bodleian Art Library (Wikipedia), and the Society holds records of the excavations and of the distribution of the finds, permission for images of papyri distributed to other institutions resting with those institutions (EES); the census holds the entity apart from a New Testament collection, its papyri being principally literary and documentary Greek texts, and from the excavation's original report (Revelation First record). Most of the papyri come from Grenfell and Hunt's excavations at Oxyrhynchus (modern Bahnasa) in 1896–1907 for the Egypt Exploration Fund, now Society (Oxford collection site), for its Graeco-Roman Branch, at sites around the Faiyum and most prominently at Oxyrhynchus, with others from John de Monins Johnson's expedition to Antinoopolis in 1913–14 (EES); the census gives the method as that excavation and the continuing edition of its finds in the series (Revelation First record). The find-site was a rubbish dump (Wikipedia), and the archive reads what that means for survival: "the Oxyrhynchus finds come from a municipal rubbish tip", and papyrus, like quotation, keeps "what was thrown away under the right conditions", selecting nothing for importance (#1601), while #567 holds that Sappho's fragments, "dense enough to survive 2,600 years of temporal compression", supplied the decompression key that made their tradition legible, as #106 restates it of compression density (#567). The collection's own page dates the texts "from the second century BCE to the seventh century CE", principally Greek, with Latin, Demotic, Coptic and Arabic (Oxford collection site), the census's coverage and text object (Revelation First record); the Society's page gives "the third century BCE to the seventh century CE" (EES), and the encyclopedia the Ptolemaic "(3rd century BC)" in its lead and "32BC–640AD" in its short description (Wikipedia), the second card's snippet carrying "3rd century BC to 640 AD" (Wikipedia card). The Society lists Greek, ancient Egyptian (hieroglyphic, hieratic, demotic), Coptic, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Pahlavi (EES); the encyclopedia puts most in Greek and Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Pahlavi at "only a small percentage of the total" (Wikipedia). Its count differs by page: "thousands of texts" on the collection's site (Oxford collection site), the census's count as of 2026-10-30 (Revelation First record); "over 500,000 fragments" at the Society (EES); over 5,000 documents transcribed since 1898, "only 1 to 2%" of an estimated half million papyri still remaining (Wikipedia); and 6000 texts published with English translations and commentaries, which the Society calls "the best published of the world’s major collections of papyri" (EES). An estimated 10% are literary, most being public and private documents (Wikipedia), the administrative texts covering marriages, employment contracts and censuses among other legal matters (Wikipedia), where the collection's own page orders its holdings "principally literary, documentary, and other texts" (Oxford collection site). The excavators recovered "a large corpus of literary works that had previously been thought to have been lost", a sentence the encyclopedia marks "citation needed": Menander, Sophocles' previously unknown Ichneutae, poems of Pindar, fragments of Sappho, the oldest and most complete diagrams of Euclid's Elements, and an epitome of seven lost books of Livy (Wikipedia). Among them is P.Oxy. 1787, the line-endings of Sappho's Tithonus poem, late second century CE, published in 1922 in volume 15 and held in the Sackler Library, the poem's first known text, whose Oxyrhynchus and Cologne versions the archive reads as authentic variants of one reperformed song, a midrashic operation to which its Revelation First mints RF-M02 and RF-M15 apply (#858). The archive reads the lacunae of P.Oxy. XVII 2076, Sappho's Book II, as "the epistemic states of §2.1 as physical fact" (#1443); it holds that no papyrus witness, "nothing from Oxyrhynchus", reaches the fifth-stanza position of Sappho 31, which Longinus transmits (#1052); and its canon node holds the Brothers Poem and the papyrus recoveries after it canonical by future recovery (#179). The papyri "have provided the most numerous sub-group of the earliest copies of the New Testament": 52 of the 127 registered New Testament papyri, 41%, are from Oxyrhynchus, the earliest "dated to the middle of the 2nd century", the first, 𝔓1, found on the second day of excavation in the winter of 1896–7 (Wikipedia), and a video card titles them "Early Christian Manuscripts" (YouTube, title only). The encyclopedia's table gives six witnesses to Revelation from the site, 𝔓18 (P.Oxy. 1079, dated 300, British Library), 𝔓24 (1230, 350), 𝔓115 (4499, 300, Ashmolean) and the parchment 0163, 0169 and 0308 (450, 350, 350), by a Date column that states no method (Wikipedia); the archive holds that Papyrus 115 carries the variant 616, corresponding to the Latin form of Nero Caesar, Nero being "the most widely accepted identification of the number" (#1101), and it seated a papyri panel of the Sappho circle and the Apocalypse papyri from the DCLP, thirty items keyed P.Oxy 2288, P18 and P115 (#1509). Among the Christian texts are fragments of non-canonical gospels, P.Oxy. 840 and 1224, and around twenty manuscripts of New Testament apocrypha, the three of Thomas the only known Greek manuscripts of the work (Wikipedia); the archive seated that "Oxyrhynchus trio", P.Oxy. 654, 1 and 655, as "three independent copies in three hands from one town's rubbish", their Trismegistos numbers verified through the DCLP records, and left the Greek Gospel of Mary and the Sophia fragment queued because "no TM number was guessed for any queued item" (#1531). The Gospel of Antioch takes Thomas, "with earlier Greek fragments attested in the Oxyrhynchus papyri (P.Oxy. 1, 654, 655)", as its genre's defining instance and holds that those fragments "survive as scroll-form papyri (P.Oxy. 1, 654, 655) — not as codices" (#71); the encyclopedia's table dates each to 200, and its note counts, of the apocrypha it lists, only P.Oxy. 2949?, 3525, 3529?, 4705 and 4706 as rolls, "the rest codices" (Wikipedia). The census's reading of the entity is its own: Oxyrhynchus "is a principal find-site of early Christian papyri", the saved page does not list them, "so the bearing on the workstream is the archive's reading, to be checked against the collection's own lists", and the evidence does not answer the composition dates of the works copied or which New Testament papyri the collection holds, under the census's correction "Revelation First ≠ Revelation Early" (Revelation First record). Its worked question on the papyri that bear on Revelation's date names the collection as "the largest collection of papyri from the principal find-site of early Christian papyri" and finds no record in its batch that gives a sourced date and dating method for 𝔓47 or the other papyri of Revelation (Revelation First record). The thesis that reading serves is the papyrological inversion: "The earliest physical NT witness is Johannine (𝔓52, commonly dated c. 125 CE), not Pauline (𝔓46, usually dated c. 175–225 CE)", the earliest copy of the Apocalypse, 𝔓98, c. 150–175, predates the earliest copy of Romans, "Papyrological dates are ranges, not certainties", and the thesis is falsified if a New Testament document "can be securely dated earlier than any plausible date for Revelation" (#202). The work plan sets out the receipts, 𝔓52 by its "Hadrianic handwriting baseline", 𝔓98 on a scroll whose recto, a late first- or early second-century document, gives "an unyielding material floor", 𝔓46 c. 175–225, and states its limit: "The section does not argue that papyrological dating of copies establishes composition dates" (#832). Before that the archive held Revelation "among the earliest NT texts preserved in manuscript fragments (P18, P47, P98), contemporaneous with or preceding fragments of John and Paul" (#636), where the encyclopedia dates 𝔓18, an Oxyrhynchus papyrus, to 300 (Wikipedia); and #828 places 𝔓52 among the finds of "the same Egyptian sites (Oxyrhynchus, Fayum, Thebes)" that yielded the Magical Papyri and Sappho's fragments (#828), where the Capture Registry records 𝔓52 as the Rylands fragment, bought in Egypt in 1920 "with no recorded findspot" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). Since the excavations scholars "have worked continuously to catalogue, decipher, and publish this material" (Oxford collection site), in the Graeco-Roman Memoirs (EES), the series begun in 1898 that the encyclopedia calls "the now 86-volume work" in one section and whose most recent volume it gives as LXXXVIII, released 1 May 2025, in another (Wikipedia); the census records the entity as active, its collection still edited and published (Revelation First record). The archive's own works enter the series' apparatus: an anticipatory erratum cites a volume LXXXVIII, "Fragments Recovered from the Rubbish of Later Excavations", dated 2029, by editors who died in 1926 and 1934, "the excavation of an excavation, which is what this apparatus is" (#1601), and The Secret Book of Walt catalogues a liturgical fragment of the Waltian community "by the Oxyrhynchus papyrus numbering system as P.Oxy. 2037.46" (#683). The site's sections are publications, images, a current project, a location list and a virtual exhibition whose chapters run from the site and its excavations to "After Grenfell and Hunt" (Oxford collection site); images of published EES papyri are on the SDS Oxyrhynchus Papyri site (EES), an online table of contents lists each papyrus's contents (Wikipedia), and the encyclopedia links "Oxford University: Oxyrhynchus Papyri Project" and "Oxyrhynchus Online" (Wikipedia) at the address the census gives as the entity's url, http://www.papyrology.ox.ac.uk/POxy/ (Revelation First record). The census leaves the images and publication lists unopened and finds no licence stated on the saved page (Revelation First record), and its worked question on what can be seen directly names the collection for its images and published editions (Revelation First record); the collection's care and publication are a British Academy Major Project funded by the AHRC and the British Academy (EES), whose film on the Oxyrhynchus Papyri Project, "Conserving and preserving ancient ...", is the fifth card (YouTube·ahrcpress, title only). The census places the entity in its intersection of papyrology and textual discovery, "manuscripts, editions, new finds and redatings", with manuscript images, catalogue and edition as its evidence and a text on papyrus or parchment from the excavations as its unit (Revelation First record); the archive holds that papyrology has "a century of discipline for reading damaged inscription, declaring uncertainty, and modelling the artifact/text distinction" but works "on authors who cannot be consulted", that its five lacuna types are a precedent the archive's Lacuna Protocol "has never cited", and that the strongest recent demonstration of a trust-chain provenance failure "is papyrological", the Brothers Poem papyrus, P.Sapph.Obbink (#1443). The census asks of each resource "What evidence does each resource hold on when and from what the New Testament writings were composed, and how do machines now read those texts?", answers for this one which texts it holds, where they are published and the date range of its finds, finds no limit stated on its saved page, leaves unchecked the publication and image lists and which New Testament papyri the collection holds, and names CSNTM as its neighbour, both holding or imaging early Christian papyri (Revelation First record). At its common name on Google's AI Overview, 2026-10-31, a new address at which no card cites the census record built the day before (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31), the composition said where the papyri were found, by whom, who holds them, what they contain and how they are published, from the own page, the Society and the encyclopedia, with four video cards, two titled "What are the Oxyrhynchus Papyri?" and "Ancient Manuscript Discoveries At Oxyrhynchus" (YouTube, title only), and held the excavators and their years, the EES, Oxford and "the largest archive of its kind in the world" at the record's grain, reaching the entity (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). The registry finds the range started a century early "from the Wikipedia card" while the own page's date was passed over, "an estimated 500,000 fragments" beyond the saved page's "thousands of texts", Papyrus 52 counted among the finds though it has no number in the series, and the record's negative tag kept in substance by the composition's 90% and 10%, its reader marking the claim boundary absent on scope; it reads the famous name as "composed from its encyclopedia" and a papyrus's provenance, "the fact the field is built to keep", moved (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31), where the Society's page, the third card, gives both the third century BCE and "over 500,000 fragments" (EES).

T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At 'Oxyrhynchus Papyri' (T1, seven cards: B1 the collection's site, B2 Wikipedia, B3 the EES, B4–B7 videos by title, B4, B6, B7 with no URL found; 217 words with its closing offer) the composition gives the find, the owner, the house, the range, the languages, the content mix and the series. Composed from its cards: the excavators and years (B1 F3, B3 F10), 'the largest archive of its kind' (B1 F1, B3 F7), 'managed by the Egypt Exploration Society' for the own page's 'belonging to' and the Society's 'custodian' (F1, F7), 'Housed primarily at the University of Oxford' (B3 F8's 'Housed at the University of Oxford'), 'an estimated 500,000 fragments' (B3 F8 'over 500,000 fragments'; B2 F23 'at least half a million papyri still remaining'), the range from 'the 3rd century BCE' (B3 F8 'the third century BCE', B2 F20, the card's snippet F38), the languages with Hebrew and Aramaic (B3 F9, B2 F22), 'garbage dumps' (B2 F18, 'an ancient rubbish dump'), the content mix (B2 F21), lost plays and Sappho and Pindar (B2 F27, F28, F29), early Christian gospels and Thomas (B2 F34, F35), and the series since 1898 as 'only a small fraction' (B2 F23, F24, F32). Available, not composed: the own page's range and order, 'from the second century BCE' and 'principally literary, documentary, and other texts' (B1 F2, card 1); the papyri from sites other than Oxyrhynchus, around the Faiyum and at Antinoopolis (B3 F10, F11); the distribution of the finds to institutions all over the world (B2 F25, B3 F12, F17), against which 'Housed primarily at the University of Oxford' stands; the 6000 texts published and the Society's 'best published' (B3 F16); the New Testament papyri, 52 of 127 from Oxyrhynchus, and the six witnesses to Revelation (B2 F31, F33); the Thomas manuscripts' numbers and the rolls-and-codices note (B2 F36); Euclid and Livy (B2 F30); the site's sections, which T reaches only in its closing offer (B1 F5, F6; CAP-1-11); the funding (B3 F14). Limit dropped: B2's 'citation needed' on the recovery of lost literary works (F27) is not carried with 'lost plays'. Force raised: B2's 'Only an estimated 10% are literary' (F21) is composed as '90% are … 10% are', the estimate dropped. Substituted reading: 'managed by' for 'belonging to' (CAP-1-08); 'reaching over 80 volumes' where B2 gives 'the now 86-volume work' and Vol. LXXXVIII (F32, F24). Outside the disclosed field: 'Papyrus 52' (no card names it; B2's New Testament table lists no 𝔓52; the registry records it as the Rylands fragment with no recorded findspot, CAP-1-03); 'school lessons' and 'tax receipts' (B2 lists tax-assessments, not school lessons); '(early Islamic period)' (B2: 'to the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640 AD', at coarser grain); 'how to search the digital transcription archives' (no card names one). Composed without attribution: every claim, at the coarse grain of the cards; no claim is tied to a card by marker, and the inline links are redirect strings. Content replaced by use: T1-8, the closing offer. The registry finds the range and the count 'from the Wikipedia card' (CAP-1-02, CAP-1-04, CAP-1-08); the field ledger shows card 3, the operator's own page, stating both ('the third century BCE', 'over 500,000 fragments', F8) and Hebrew and Aramaic (F9), so the composition's figures are the operator's as well as the encyclopedia's.

L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census record's account of the entity, field by field with its basis (RF-01–RF-28), its question and its intersection (RF-24, RF-06, RF-26), what the evidence can and cannot answer (RF-15, RF-16), and its reading of the collection as a principal find-site of early Christian papyri, to be checked against the collection's own lists (RF-17, RF-27); the papyrological inversion on the class of New Testament papyri, with its limit and falsifier (O202-01, O202-02, O832-01, O832-02), and its earlier form, which counts 𝔓18, an Oxyrhynchus papyrus the table dates to 300, among witnesses 'contemporaneous with or preceding' John and Paul (O636-01 against F33); claims on single papyri of the collection: the Thomas trio seated and verified, with the queue precept (D1531-01, D1531-02), its scroll form against the table's note (D71-02 against F36), the Tithonus poem and its variants (D858-01, D858-02), the lacunae of P.Oxy. 2076 (D1443-01), 616 in 𝔓115 (D1101-01), no Oxyrhynchus witness to Sappho 31's fifth stanza (D1052-01), the papyri panel (R1509-01); 𝔓52 placed among these sites' finds (D828-01) against the registry's no recorded findspot (CAP-1-03); survival by disposal against survival by density (D1601-01, O567-01); canonical-by-future-recovery (O179-01); papyrology as discipline (O1443-01–03); the archive's own works in the series' apparatus (R1601-02, R683-01); and the Capture Registry's account of the composition at the name (CAP-1-01–CAP-1-11). Not surfaced: every archive source; no card cites the census record (CAP-1-10).
