Does P46 have something to the effect of "The epistle of Paul to the Hebrews"? Other mss.? Particularly Greek mss.?

Also, what is the exact wording of these headings?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not going to take the time to look it up right now, but I doubt there would be any; if there were, my guess is that they'd be anything but very early mss, tossed in by a copier a bit ignorant on the subject of the epistle's authorship. Considering that the author has been attributed by various people throughout history to be Barnabas, Apollos, and others, I believe.

Not sure what the point of the question is, though.

The placement of Hebrews in the Pauline corpus suggests it was an addition to an earlier bundle of books (the other 12), which was itself composed of three smaller collections.

Try to buy or borrow a copy of David Trobisch's Paul's Letter Collection (or via: amazon.co.uk) for specifics. It is a recent publication (well, in last 5 years or so) and concentrates on the "publication" proicess in antiquity.

Trobisch also published a book on the publication of the NT as a whole (title escapes me as I try to rush out the door to work).

Hmm. According to this, P46 reads "To The Hebrews," not "The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews" or even "The Epistle to the Hebrews." That's definitely a great start, thankyou! Now, what do the other ancient Greek mss. say?
