Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). It is familiar to Papyrus 66, Papyrus 75, Codex Sinaiticus, and Vaticanus.

In John 1:34 reads ὁ ἐκλεκτός together with the manuscripts <math>\mathfrak{P}</math>5, א, b, e, ff2, syrc, s. In John 1:41 ουτοι is omitted.<ref name = Head> Peter M.
