Initially, P5 was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt at the end of the 19th century in two separate portions at Oxyrhynchus. The first portion that was discovered contains John 1:23–31, 33–40 on one page (front and back), as well as John 20:11–17, 19–20, 22–25 on another page (front and back).

P66 Papyrus 66 [150 C.E.] is of the Alexandrian text-type (more trusted). P66 comes to us by way of a professional scribe (practiced calligraphic hand, pagination numbers), a major corrector and a minor corrector.
Papyrus 66 (P66) is a crucial manuscript in New Testament studies, housing the Gospel of John and excluding the Pericope Adulterae. Scholars debate its dating, with evidence supporting an early to mid-second-century origin (125-150 C.E.). It reveals the significant corrections and textual characteristics made by three distinct individuals, shedding light on early Christian scribal practices and theological engagement.
