description

The papyrus was written in medium - sized semi - uncials . It is a single sheet of paper written on with 12 lines per page. There are nouns Sacra used but incomplete.

text

The Greek text of the Codex represents the Alexandrian text type (or rather a Proto-Alexandrian text type). Kurt Aland placed it in Category I a. The manuscript shows the greatest agreement with ⁷⁵ (in 7 out of 10 variants). According to Grenfell and Hunt, it is closer to the Sinaiticus than to the Vaticanus . Only in one case does it support the Codex Alexandrinus against Sinaiticus and Vaticanus (John 6:11). Grenfell and Hunt noted that the text is "not spoken very correctly". It has five unique readings. In John 6,10 it says πεντακισ] χιλειοι , ελεβεν instead of ελαβεν , in 6,19 ενγυς instead of εγγυς , in 6.20 φοβεισθαι instead of φοβεισθε , in 6.22 ιιεν instead of εεν . ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$

history
