Family Π is a group of New Testament manuscripts. It belongs to the Byzantine text-type as one of the textual families of this group. Name of the family came from the symbol of Codex Petropolitanus) — Π. Hermann von Soden designated this group by symbol Ka. Soden included to this group codices: Cyprius (K), Petropolitanus (Π), 72, 114, 116, 178, 265, 389, 1008, 1009, 1079, 1154, 1200, 1219, 1346, 1398. Lake added to this group manuscripts: 489, 537, 652, 775, 796, 904, 1478, 1500, 1546, 1561, 1781, 1816. Soden also associated Codex Alexandrinus with this group.
