Fantastic news!

My sense of the little I have seen of the new material is that - if it is Origen - there are differences in style from the received material. To my eye at least (and this observation is admittedly sloppy and uncritical) there is a difference between what I have read in the Latin material (not Homilies on Psalms but generally in the material translated into Latin) and this newly discovered Greek manuscript. Jerome says that Eusebius and Rufinus changed the material. Whenever Eusebius saw 'heresy' he assumed it was added to the text and made it go away. This is very, very significant - if it turns out to be Origen.

Thank you Roger, brilliant, as always.....

The formal announcement will take place in about a week's time, in Padua, given by Marina Molin Pradel.

Meantime, here are two of the first comments on the text itself, from last week:
Well, Daniel may be absolutely correct, I don't know. I do know, that δυσφημουμενοι is found in Westcott & Hort, and βλασφημουμενοι in the more plentiful, extant copies of the Byzantine text. δυσφημουμενοι is assumed to exist in Codex Sinaiticus, but neither word is visible in this ancient text.

Apart from confirming that the early third century writer, Origen, evidently possessed a copy of 1 Corinthians, is there any other significance to this particular verse?
