It's cool to see good photos of the Chester Beatty papyri (P45 and P46)
available online. Perhaps someone can explain to me where in them one can
find the tetragrammaton. Abbreviations such as those mentioned by George
Somsel are totally ordinary in the uncials, and it's news to me if they are
claimed as "manuscript evidence for the tetragrammaton". I'd be fascinated
if someone can tell me why these run-of-the-mill abbreviations are taken as
evidence about the tetragrammaton.

I was just looking through my copy of Comfort and Barrett which while, of
course, not a facsimile I trust to be accurate. I see no evidence of the
Tetragrammaton being used. I see many abbreviations in various cases: QEOS,
hUIOS, PATHR, PNEUMA, XRISTOS, even hEBDOMHKONTA.

Gentlemen, I am not sure if this a permissible subject on this fine
list, but if it is, can anyone confirm this statement. I had never
heard this. I have no interest at all in "plugging" the divine Name
in Hebrew. or Greek.

"There is manuscript evidence for the tetragrammaton in the NT prior
to 200 A.D. The 2 fullest and most significant Mss dated prior to the
4th Century proving this are P46 and P45, both of which are from
Egypt. It seems these 2 Mss date between 80 -120 years after the
original autographs, and have the tetragrammaton."
