- Text
Despite the late date, it is an important manuscript and excellent witness for the book of Acts.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland ascribed it as a "strict text", and placed it in Category I.[1]
- Acts 12:25 it reads εξ Ιερουσαλημ (from Jerusalem) along with A, 33, 69, 630, 2127; majority reads εις Ιερουσαλημ (to Jerusalem);[3]
- It does not contain Acts 15:34 as codices Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, E, Ψ, Byz.[4]
- Acts 20:28 it reads του κυριου (of the Lord) – A C* D E Ψ 33 36 453 945 1739 1891, instead of the Alexandrian του Θεου (of the God), or the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) του κυριου και του Θεου (of the Lord and God).[5]
- Acts 27:16 – καυδα (name of island), this reading is supported only by Vaticanus, 1175, Old-Latin version, Vulgate, and Peshitta.[6]
- Present location
It is currently housed at the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana (P. Bodmer XVII) in Cologny.[1][7]
