Lost Gospel Fragment Found With Freer Collection in Cairo
Freer, of Detroit, with an Arab dealer in Cairo, acquires a fragment of Mark and a text from a lost gospel.

The fragment, cited by St Jerome, may reveal the original form of the later addition to Mark 16. This item belongs to a broader set of biblical manuscripts acquired by Freer.
