"Carbon dating tests were carried out on two out of three international
collections, the Senior and Schøyen collections which are owned by
private individuals. The third is owned by the British Library.
...
Results showed that two manuscripts from the Senior collection date
between the years 130 and 250 AD and three of the Schøyen texts between
the first and fifth century AD."
