Daily Mail quoted Dr. Roberta Mazza, a research member at the library John Rylands, said the document contained thousands of torn pieces of paper, stored in the library's cellar and not previously published.

Mazza believes that this document will help clarify the important things about early Christianity, about the practices of religious followers. Thanks to spectral imaging techniques, Dr. Mazza discovered that the material was written on recycled papyrus.

The faint text on the back of the text is considered a voucher for cereal tax that was certified by a tax collector from the village of Tertembuthis, outside the old city of Hermopolis.

Daily Mail said this religious document was collected and brought to the John Rylands library since 1901 but no one realized their meaning.

Dr. Mazza said this was an accidental discovery but very important because of the contents of the text. It is a combination of Bible passages including Psalms (Psalm) 78: 23-24 and Matthew 26: 28-30 .

This text shows that the knowledge of the Bible has been in Egypt since the sixth century, much earlier than previously thought.
