In 2 Corinthians 2:2 it contains reading και τις εστιν (as א2 D F G Ψ) for και τις (as א* A B C 81).[5]
History
Biblical scholar Constantin von Tischendorf brought this codex from the East to Petersburg in 1859.[3] Tischendorf briefly described it in Notitia editionis codicis Bibliorum Sinaitici (Leipzig, 1860).[6] It was examined by Eduard de Muralt,[7] by Kurt Treu and by Pasquale Orsini.
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 6th century.[2][8]
The codex is now located at the Russian National Library (Gr. 9) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
