Description

Remains of 21 folios containing various parts of the Pauline Epistles (1 Cor 8:5-9:13, Heb 11:30-13:25 & subscriptio, Gal 1:1-3:19, 4:24-27, & 5:5-8, Eph 2:11-3:21, 4:2-12.16-20.26-29, 5:4-12.18-25, 5:27-6:1, & 6:6-12.15-20, Phil parts of adscriptio and 1:1-3.9-28, 2:2-4.14-15, Col 1:16-18.24-27, 2:1-4:18, 1 Thess adscriptio and 1:1-2:19)

The writing area was outlined with pink chalk but not slavishly obeyed; cursive handwriting style; pages are numbered above the center of a single column of writing with the highest page number observed being 144; the sequence of the individual letters seems deviant.
