Oxyrhynchus Papyri 4499/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_115" class="extiw" title="en:Papyrus 115">P<sup>115</sup></a>.
This volume of Oxyrhynchus Papyri contains a fragmentary papyrus of Revelation which is the earliest known witness to some sections (late third / early fourth century). One feature of particular interest is the number that this papyrus assigns to the Beast: 616, rather than the usual 666. (665 is also found.) We knew that this variant existed: Irenaeus cites (and refutes) it. But this is the earliest instance that has so far been found. The number — chi, iota, stigma (hexakosiai deka hex) — is in the third line of the fragment shown below.
