Description
The document was written by an unknown copyist. It contains part of the text of the De Corona (40-47) by Demosthenes. The measurements of the fragment are 280 by 210 mm. The text is written in a round, rather irregular uncial hand. It occasionally differs from the ordinary text. Only a few corrections were made by a second hand, which is also responsible for some rough breathings. Grenfell and Hunt collated the text of the manuscript against the text of De Corona from Dindorf-Blass's edition.
It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1899.
