The codex contains the text of the Gospel of John, with a numerous lacunae, on 19 parchment leaves (32.5 cm by 24 cm). Some leaves have survived in a fragmentary condition. The text is written in one column per page, 5-9 lines per page, 17-24 letters in line. The uncial letters are large. It has breathings and accents.[3][4]
The biblical text is surrounded by a catena.[1] The text of commentary is written in minuscule.
It contains text John 1:1.3-4; 2:17-3:8.12-13.20-22, 4:7-14, 20:10-13.15-17.[5]
Verse 21:25 is repeated twice and 20:17 even thrice.[3]
The Greek text of the codex is mixed with the Byzantine, Alexandrian, and Western readings. Several times it concurs with Papyrus 75 (John 2:17; 3:12 etc.). Aland placed it in Category III.[1]
In John 3:12 it has textual variant πιστευετε (you believe) – instead of πιστευσετε (you will believe) – along with the manuscripts Papyrus 75 and Uncial 083.[6]
Possibly the codex was written in Athos peninsula.[3] The Moscow fragment was brought from the Dionysiou monastery.[3]
The fragment John 4:7-14 (three leaves) was discovered by Bradshaw in 1863. Kitchin show it for Tischendorf (1865).[7][8]
It was examined by Tregelles.
The codex is divided and located in four places. 2 leaves are housed at the Εθνική Βιβλιοθήκη (1371) in Athens, 7 leaves in the Dionysiou monastery 2 (71), in Athos, 7 leaves in the State Historical Museum (V. 29, S. 119), and 3 leaves in the Christ Church (Wake 2,3).[1][9]
