Originally it was written on a large leaf (approximately 19 by 28 cm).It is the earliest manuscript which has survived to the present day with the text of Rev. 5–6.[2] It uses letter Ζ for επτα (seven).
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of theAlexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian).Åland placed it inCategory I.[1] This manuscript exhibits textual agreement withPapyrus 18,Papyrus 47, andCodex Sinaiticus, but the surviving fragment is too small to determine its overall textual affinities.[2]
Formerly housed at the Franklin Trask Library ofAndover Newton Theological School (OP 1230) inNewton, Massachusetts, this and other MSS from Andover Newton are now held at the library of Yale Divinity School.[1][3]
