Philip Comfort Writes,
Grenfell and Hunt identified the handwriting as being similar to that of P20 (see comments on P20). Indeed, the manuscript appears to have been written by the same scribe who composed P20 and therefore must have the same date. Even if it was not done by the same scribe, it belongs to the same era. The following letters are formed identically: α, β, δ, ε, κ, ι, μ, ν, ο, π, ρ, σ, ψ, υ, φ, ω. Both manuscripts display no punctuation other than the diaeresis (an apostrophe appears in P20 after a foreign name, but there was no occasion for it in P27).
