Description

The codex contains portions of the Pauline epistles except Romans. It contains the Epistle to the Hebrews. The Hebrews follows 2 Thessalonians. The manuscript is generally dated from the fifth century, though a few have suggested the sixth century instead. The codex originally contained about 210 parchment leaves (25 x 20), of which only 84 survive in a fragmentary condition. The text of the codex contains a lot of lacunae. It was written in one column per page, 30 lines per column.[3] The letters and words are not separated from one another (scriptio-continua).

The Greek text of this codex, which was edited by H. A. Sanders in 1921, is a good representative of the Alexandrian text-type, agreeing more closely with א, A, C, and 33, than with P46, B or 1739.[4] Aland placed it in Category II, ascribing it to the Egyptian text.[5] Its fragmentary nature limits its usefulness.

In 2 Timothy 1:11 it reads καὶ διδάσκαλος (and teacher) along with א*, A, 1175, syrpal; majority of manuscripts read καὶ διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν (and teacher of nations).[6]
