Text

The Greek text of this manuscript probably is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty. It is still not assigned to any of Aland's Categories of New Testament manuscripts.

Location

The manuscript is currently housed at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Pap. K. 7244) at Vienna.
