Description
Caspar René Gregory included it into uncials, but Dobschütz included it into Ostraca. Dobschütz enumareted 25 ostraca of the New Testament. This opinion was supported by other scholars, and in result Uncial 0153 was deleted from the list of the New Testament uncials, and remained empty place in the list.<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.

Text
Earthen vessels (σκευη, οστρακινα) were in universal use in the antiquity, (they are twice mentioned in the New Testament: 2 Corinthians 4:7 and in 2 Timothy 2:20
- Εχομεν δε τον θησαυρον τουτον εν οστρακινοις σκευεσιν ινα η υπερβολη της δυναμεως η του θεου και μη εξ ημων.
- Εν μεγαλη δε οικια ουκ εστιν μονον σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα αλλα και ξυλινα και οστρακινα και α μεν εις τιμην α δε εις ατιμιαν.
The Greek text of the codex is too brief to determine its textual character.
