Greek papyrus fragment listed on eBay

  • Is there an upscale, fancy-things-only version of eBay?

The hosts discuss a rare Christian papyrus fragment that was listed on eBay for $99: the 'willowy papyrus' with a few lines of Greek from the Gospel of John (possibly John 1:50-51), an unidentified Christian writing on the other side, drawn from the library of the late theology professor Harold Willoughby (University of Chicago). Bidding was suspended. The discussion riffs on Greek food (pita, lamb, Oikos yogurt, feta) and asks whether an upscale, fancy-things-only eBay exists.
