	If the early dating of the papyrus is in fact correct, then the fact that the fragment is from a [[codex]] rather than a [[scroll]] would testify to the very early adoption of this mode of writing amongst Christians, in stark contrast to the invariable practice of contemporary [[Judaism]]. Furthermore, an assessment of the length of 'missing' text between the recto and verso readings corresponds with that in the counterpart canonical Gospel of John; and hence confirms that there are unlikely to have been substantial additions or deletions in this whole portion. Other than two [[itacism]]s, and in the probable omission of the second ΕΙΣ ΤΟΥΤΟ from line 2 of the verso, [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> agrees with the Alexandrian text base. In lines 4 and 5 of the recto the reconstructed text reads ΠΑΛΙΝ ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΠΡΑΙΤΩΡΙΟΝ in agreement with [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>[[Papyrus 66\|66]]</sup> and with the [[Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209\|Codex Vaticanus]] whereas the [[Codex Sinaiticus]], [[Codex Alexandrinus]] and the [[Majority Text]] all have the alternative word order; ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΠΡΑΙΤΩΡΙΟΝ ΠΑΛΙΝ, but this is hardly a significant variant. Since this fragment is small – about nine by six centimeters – it cannot be proven that it comes from a full copy of the ''John'' that we know; but it may be presumed that the original text was at least of near full gospel length to be worth the extra care and time required in writing in codex form.

	Scepticism about the use of [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> to date the Gospel of John (not about the fragment's authenticity) is based on two issues. First, the papyrus has been dated based on the handwriting alone, without the support of textual evidence. Secondly, like all other surviving early Gospel manuscripts, this fragment is not from a scroll but from a [[codex]]; a sewn and folded book not a roll. If it dates from the first half of the second century, this fragment would be amongst the earlier surviving examples of a literary codex. (Around [[90]] CE, [[Martial]] circulated his poems in codex form, presenting this as a novelty.) The year before Roberts published [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup>, the [[British Museum]] library had acquired papyrus fragments of the [[Egerton Gospel]] which are also from a codex, and these were published in 1935. Since the text of [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> is that of the canonical [[Gospel of John]], whereas the [[Egerton Gospel]] is not, there was considerable interest amongst biblical scholars as to whether [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> could be dated as the earlier of the two papyri.

	[[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> is a literary text and, in common with almost all such papyri, has no explicit indicator of date. Proposing a date for it required comparison with dated texts, which tend to be documentary (contracts, petitions, letters) and, unlike [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup>, are often the work of professional scribes. Roberts proposed four dated papyri as close comparators: Abb 34 (ca. 110-117 CE), P. Fayum 110 (94 CE), P. London 2078 (81-96 CE), and P. Oslo 22 (127 CE). Of these, P. Fayum 110 is the only one that shares the characteristic dual form of alpha found in [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup>; while P. Oslo 22 is most similar in some of the more distinctive letter forms, e.g. eta, mu and iota. Roberts also suggested two literary texts as comparators: P. Berol. 6845 (a fragment of the [[Iliad]] estimated to date around 100 CE) which he suggested (other than in the form of the letter alpha) is "the closest parallel to our text that I have been able to find"; and the [[Egerton Gospel]] itself, which was then estimated to date around 150 CE. He stated that it had "most of the characteristics of our hand ... though in a less accentuated form". Roberts circulated his assessment to three fellow paleographers: [[Frederic G. Kenyon]], W. Schubart and [[Idris Bell\|H. I. Bell]]; all concurred with his dating of [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> in the first half of the 2nd century. Kenyon suggested another dated comparator in P. Flor I (153 CE); but Roberts did not consider the similarity to be very close, other than for particular letters, as the overall style of that hand was [[cursive]]. In the same year 1935, Roberts's assessment of date was supported by the independent studies of [[Gustav Adolf Deissmann\|A. Deissmann]], who, while producing no actual evidence, suggested a date in the reigns of Trajan (98-117) or Hadrian (117-138).<sup>[]</sup> In 1936 the dating was supported by [[Ulrich Wilcken]] on the basis of a comparison between the hand of P52 and those of papyri in the extensive Apollonius archive which are dated 113-120.

	Subsequently, a number of other comparator papyri have been suggested, notably P.Oxy. 2533, where a literary text dated to the early second century in a hand very close to [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> has been written on the back of a re-used document in a late first century business hand. In addition, the discovery of several other papyrus codices of the early second century suggested that this form of book was more common for literary texts at this date than had previously been assumed. Consequently, until the 1990s, the tendency was to suggest a date for [[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]<sup>52</sup> towards the earlier half of the range suggested by Roberts and his correspondents. However, a cautionary note was raised by the discovery that a papyrus fragment in Cologne constitutes part of the [[Egerton Gospel]]. In this fragment the letters gamma and kappa are separated by an apostrophe, a feature very rare in dated second century papyri; which accordingly implies a date for the [[Egerton Gospel]] closer to 200 CE - and indicates the perils of ascribing a date for a papyrus text of which only a small part of two pages survives.
