The codex contains very small part of the
Gospel of Mark 10:50.51; 11:11.12, on one parchment leaf (8 cm by 4.5 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 25 lines per page,[2] 11-15 letters in line,[3] in a calligraphic uncial hand.[4] The letters A and M are not typical Egyptian.[3]
The
nomina sacra are written in an abbreviated way.
Currently the manuscript is dated by the
INTF to the 5th century.[5]
The manuscript was discovered by the Egyptologist
Bernard Grenfell (1869-1926) and the Papyrologist
Arthur Hunt (1871-1934). It was presented to the University of Chicago in the early 20th century.
