The manuscript is written in a documentary hand.[1] There are about 37-38 lines per page.[1] Grenfeld and Hunt conjectured that𝔓15 and 𝔓16 might have been part of the same manuscript. Both manuscripts have the same formation of letters, line space, and punctuation.[1]
Thenomina sacra are written in an abbreviated way. The text was not corrected.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of theAlexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian).Aland placed it inCategory I.[3] This manuscript diverges from the text of UBS4 8 times, fromCodex Vaticanus 9 times, and fromCodex Sinaiticus 10 times. 𝔓16 diverges from readings of the majority of all New Testament manuscripts 11 times.
It is currently housed at theEgyptian Museum (JE 47424) inCairo.[3][4]
