Description
The papyrus was likely a codex (precursor to the modern book), and only has extant Romans 15:26-27, 32-33, and 16:1,4-7,11-12.[2] The text was written in two columns per page.[2]
- Text
The Greek text of this codex is too small to determine its textual character. It runs directly from Romans 15:33 through to 16:1, whereas some manuscripts (such as ๐46) have what is traditionally Romans 16:25-27 between Romans 15:33 and 16:1.[2]
- History
The early history of the manuscript is unknown. The codex is currently housed at the Institut fรผr Altertumskunde of the University of Cologne at Cologne, with the shelf number (Inv. No. 10311).[1][2]
