The writing is in 35 lines per page.[2]
Text
The Greek text of this manuscript is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, Comfort ascribed it as proto-Alexandrian, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty.[2] It has not yet been placed in any of the Categories of New Testament manuscripts.[3]
- Location
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (PL II/31) at Florence.[3][4]
Textual variants
- 5:27 Word-spacing analysis indicates that 10-14 letters intruded between the first two words of the verse
- 5:28: Ī±ĪŗĪæĻ ĻĪæĻ ĻĪ¹Ī½ (akousousin, 'shall hear' (future tense)) becomes Ī±ĪŗĪæĻ ĻĪ±Ī½ĻĪµĻ (akousantes, 'have heard' (aorist aspect, participle)).
- 5:36: omits second 'Ī±Ļ ĻĪ±' (auta, these) through possible homoeoteleuton.
Nomina Sacra
The fragment should have the word ĻĪ±ĻĪ®Ļ contracted (nomina sacra) in two places, but instead, lacuane.[5]
