I recommend that. I find these early papyri from Oxyrhynchus very
interesting.
If you want to read some fragments, try:
(both short and simple)
407 theol. christian prayer late III or early IV
658 theol. Pagan Sacrifice (Decian persecution) c. 250

Also very interesting is:
1786 theol. Hymn with notes(!) late III
(the most ancient piece of Church music. Sing this papyrus!)

Full list of earlier (III-IV) christian fragments from Oxyrhynchus:
5 theol. christian homily late III or early IV
210 theol. christian fragm. III
405 theol. fragm. early III
406 theol. fragm. III
