LOGIA , a See also:title used to describe a collection of the sayings of Jesus See also:Christ (XO'yta 'InaoO) and therefore generally applied to the " Sayings of Jesus " discovered in See also:Egypt by B. P. Grenfell and A. S. See also:Hunt. There is some question as to whether the See also:term is rightly used for this purpose. It does not occur in the Papyri in this sense. Each " saying " is introduced by the phrase " Jesus says " (Xi-yet) and the collection is described in the See also:introductory words of the 1903 See also:series as Xoyot not as Xbyta. Some See also:justification for the employment of the term is found in See also:early See also:Christian literature. Several writers speak of the Xoyta Toe Kupiov or Tit Kvptalca Xbyea, i.e. oracles of (or concerning) the See also:Lord. Poly-See also:carp, for instance, speaks of " those who pervert the oracles of the Lord " (Philipp. 7), and See also:Papias, as See also:Eusebius tells us, wrote a See also:work with the title " Expositions of the Oracles of the Lord." The expression has been variously interpreted. It need mean no more (See also:Lightfoot, Essays on Supernatural See also:Religion, 172 seq.) than narratives of (or concerning) the Lord; on the other See also:hand, the phrase is capable of a much more definite meaning, and there are many scholars who hold that it refers to a document which contained a collection of the sayings of Jesus. Some such document, we know, must See also:lie at the See also:base of our Synoptic Gospels, and it is quite possible that it may have been known to and used by Papias. It.is only on this See also:assumption that the use of the term Logia in the sense described above can be justified. " The Sayings," to which the term Logia is generally applied, consist of (a) a See also:papyrus See also:leaf containing seven or eight sayings of Jesus discovered in 1897, (b) a second leaf containing five more sayings discovered in 1903, (c) two fragments of unknown Gospels, the former published in 1903, the latter in 1907. All these were found amongst the See also:great See also:mass of papyri acquired by the See also:Egyptian Exploration Fund from the ruins of Oxyrhynchus, one of the See also:chief early Christian centres in Egypt, situated some 120 M. S. of See also:Cairo. The eight " sayings " discovered in 1897 are as follows: I. ... Kai TOTE SLal3AE1~/ELS EK$aXEIV TO Ka.pdot TO EV TO? o¢BaXpw rol &See also:SEA¢00 Oov. q 2.
