Description

The manuscript is written in large upright uncial letters.

The Greek text of this codex probably is a mixture of text-types. Aland placed it in Category III.

In Matthew 12:25 it has textual variant ιδων δε (instead of ειδως δε) in agreement with Codex Bezae, corrector b of the Codex Sinaiticus, 892*, the Latin text of Codex Bezae (it), k, c, s, cop. In 12:32 it lacks words αυτω ουτε.

It is currently housed at the Muhlenberg College (Theol. Pap. 3) in Allentown (Pennsylvania).
