Minuscule 2818
From Textus Receptus
Minuscule 2818 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Aπρ20 (von Soden). Formerly it was labelled as 36aK in all catalogs, but it was renumbered by Aland, because two manuscripts had number 36 (36e and 36a). It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 12th century.[1]
