Description
Originally it was written on a large leaf (approximately 19 by 28 cm). It is the earliest survived to the present day manuscript with text of Rev 5-6.[2] It use letter Ζ for επτα (seven).
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I.[1] This manuscript exhibits textual agreement with Papyrus 18, Papyrus 47, and Codex Sinaiticus, but survived fragment is too small to determine its overall textual affinities.[2]
It is currently housed at the Franklin Trask Library Andover Newton Theological School (OP 1230) in Newton, Massachusetts.[1]
