The Greek text of this manuscript is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, Comfort ascribed it as proto-Alexandrian, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty.[2] It has not yet been placed in any of the Categories of New Testament manuscripts.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (PL II/31) at Florence.[3][4]
The fragment should have the word πατήρ contracted (nomina sacra) in two places, but instead, lacuane.[5]
