Appendix
Itacisms in P66
As will have been noticed in the numerous notes during the main transcription above, itacisms have been mentioned more than once (twenty‐five times to be exact).
What exactly are itacisms, and why does 𝔓66 seem to have so many (to which comments haven’t been accorded for them all)?
Itacisms (or iotacisms) is the name given to the development of certain letter sounds, in the Greek language, that started to be pronounced exactly like the Greek letter
iota (ι); these being η, υ, and the digraphs ει, οι, ηι, υι. Itacism also includes other letters that sounded the same, such as ο and ω, and αι and ε.
In the case of manuscript transcription, it was common for copyists to not only look at the words they were copying, but also to read the words out loud when doing so.
Another copying method was to have someone read out the manuscript, whilst others wrote down what they said, therefore making several copies at once with numerous
copyists.
Obviously in the case of letters that sounded the same, it was quite common for copyists to write down whichever letters they believed were being spoken. 𝔓66 is a
prime example of such a thing occurring.
Looking through the numerous papyri that have been recovered from the Koine‐Greek period, itacisms were rampant in written compositions, and not just in copyings
of other writing. Itacisms would’ve been read and understood quite frequently. However, as with the ever need to be exact, they would be corrected more often than not in
manuscripts such as 𝔓66, due to what their intended use would be.
Does this mean the copyist wasn’t ‘careful’? Far from it. That the copyist seems to have been pronouncing everything as they went along, and that they did indeed
correct themselves in numerous instances, the copyist was a very careful one. Most errors are not usually more than one or two letters, and 99% of them have been corrected
either by the copyist themselves, or one of the correctors.
As J. R. Royce notes in his extremely detailed monograph, Scribal Habits in Early Greek New Testament Papyri (p. 404):
[T]he total activity is indeed rather careful, and this care is shown clearly by the fact that the papyrus, when it left the
scribe’s hands, contained a fairly low percentage of nonsense readings.
Therefore, 𝔓66 is a very good manuscript, containing a glimpse to the original composition itself. 𝔓66 has also been handy in determining the pronunciation of Greek in
the Koine‐Period. The itacisms contained within 𝔓66 and other manuscripts, have helped in the development of the Restored Koine prouniciation, which aims to give the
pronunciation that those not only writing, but hearing Greek, would have been accustomed to in the early centuries of the common era.
