Editing Codex Freerianus (section)

==Description==
The codex contains portions of the [[Pauline epistles]] except [[Epistle to the Romans|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.<sup>[3]</sup> 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 [[Codex Sinaiticus|א]], [[Codex Alexandrinus|A]], [[Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus|C]], and [[Minuscule 33|33]], than with [[Papyrus 46|P<sup>46</sup>]], [[Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209|B]] or 1739.<sup>[4]</sup> [[Kurt Aland|Aland]] placed it in [[Categories of New Testament manuscripts#Category II|Category II]], ascribing it to the Egyptian text.<sup>[5]</sup> Its fragmentary nature limits its usefulness.

In [[2 Timothy 1:11]] it reads καὶ διδάσκαλος (''and teacher'') along with א*, [[Codex Alexandrinus|A]], 1175, syr<sup>pal</sup>; majority of manuscripts read καὶ διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν (''and teacher of nations'').<sup>[6]</sup>
