Forms part of the Kenneth Willis Clark Collection of Greek Manuscripts (David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University)

Format: Manuscript leaves.

Title supplied by cataloger.

Layout: Written in 2 columns of 28 lines; 28 lines ruled with a dry point on the hair side; few pricking marks are visible and there is damage to the upper foreedge of the leaves with a minor loss of text.

Script: Written in a very open script, short in height leaving ample space between the lines of text, apparently with rapidity, bearing a slightly rightward slant; the scribe mixes uncial and minuscule letters, and uses small accents that are placed well above the line of text.
