Description

The original manuscript would've been around 14.5 cm x 18.5 cm, with 23 lines per page. The handwriting script is representative of the reformed Documentary style.[3] The text is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Although small, the manuscript concurs with Codex Sinaiticus.[1] It has itacistic error in John 17:23 (γεινωσκη instead of γινωσκη).[4]
