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.[2]

The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I.[1] This manuscript shows the greatest agreement with Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus,[3] but not with codices Ephraemi, Regius and other late Alexandrian manuscripts.[1]

Philip Comfort has conjectured that the scribe who wrote Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png20 was also the same scribe who wrote Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png27, 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.[]
