Conservation Status
When the papyrus was purchased, according to the inventoryentry made at this time, a solid mass "fully impreganted by salt crystals, some as large as 3/10 of an inch in diameter". It was then believed to have written in coptic. After the crystals had been dissolved, it was found to be the remains of a papyrus codex containing Scholia minora. Of the 11 extant folios, six are certainly conjugate leaves, and another two (F. 3 and F. 10) may have been. These eight folios, then form four sheets of the same quire, apparently the central quire of the codex, to judge from the hemp binding cord still attached to the central sheet of the quire (F. 3 + F. 10). The exact number of sheets per quire connot be determined, but it was at least quaternio. No kolleseis are visible on any of the sheets.
Palaeographic Description
The codex is written in a standard sloping byzantine book-hand. Critical signs: several tremata; double dots occasionally used to separate lemma from gloss; second lines of glosses slightly in eisthesis; a few uncorrected misspellings; final nu occasionally written as a supralinear stroke at end of line; itacism; iota adscript consistently written.
