Description
The original size of the leaves was 17 by 12 cm.
The text is neatly written in upright semi-cursive letters. The main Nomina Sacra are used, but πατηρ/pater/father and ανθρωπος/anthropos/man are written out in full.[]
The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I.<ref name = Aland>Kurt Aland, and Barbara Aland, The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism, transl. Erroll F. Rhodes, William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1995, p. 97.</ref> This manuscript shows the greatest agreement with Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus,[] but not with codices C, L and other late Alexandrian manuscripts.[]
Philip Comfort has conjectured that the scribe who wrote 20 was also the same scribe who wrote [[Papyrus 27|27]], where the Greek letters α, β, δ, ε, λ, ι, μ, ν, ο, π, ρ, σ, ψ, υ, φ, ω are formed identically in both manuscripts.[]
It is currently housed at the Princeton University Library (AM 4117) in Princeton.[]
