Description
The original manuscript would've been around 12.5 cm x 23 cm, with about 35 lines per page.[3] Due to pagination being extant (gamma/Γ (=3) on the front and delta/Δ (=4) on the reverse of the leaf), this indicates that the manuscript was either a single codex of John, or had John at the beginning of a collection.[4] The text is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian), bearing familiarity to 𝔓66, 𝔓75, Codex Sinaiticus (א), and Vaticanus (B).[1]
