Description

The codex contains a small parts of the Book of Revelation 3:19-4:3, on an almost complete parchment leaf (9.3 cm by 7.7 cm). It is written in one column per page, 14 lines per page, in small uncial letters. [1] The hand of the codex is a fair-sized upright uncial, fairly regular. [2]

The letter sigma was formed with two strokes of the pen, and epsilon with three strokes; the letters kappa and upsilon have serifs. [2]

The two pages are numbered in the outside upper corner 33 and 34. [3] The nomina sacra are written in abbreviated forms, but some of the usual contractions are written in length forms (e.g. ουρανω). [4]

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category III. [1] According to R. H. Charles the text is "much more closely with Codex Sinaiticus than with any other uncial". The text seems to be inaccurately copied. [4]

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 4th century. [1] [5]

The text was edited in 1911 by Grenfell and Hunt. [6]

The codex currently is housed at the Princeton Theological Seminary (Speer Library, Pap. 5) in Princeton. [1] [5]
