Papyrus 90, also known as P. Oxy. L 3523, is a small fragment from the Gospel of John 18:36-19:7. It is designated by the siglum 𝔓90 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to the late 2nd century CE.[1]
Description

The papyrus is written on both sides, indicating this was likely a codex (the precursor to the modern book). It is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, P. Oxy. 3523) in Oxford.[2]Template:R/superscript[3]
Text
The Greek text of this codex is considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Due to its early date, Biblical scholar Kurt Aland placed it in Category I of his New Testament classification system.[2]
Papyrologist and biblical scholar Philip W. Comfort says "𝔓90 has [close] textual affinity with 𝔓66 ... [and] some affinity with Codex Sinaiticus (א)."[4]
