It is designated by the siglum in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. The surviving texts of James are verses 3:13-4:4; 4:9-5:1. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to the late 3rd or early 4th century CE.

Text

The Greek text of the codex is considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. According to textual scholar Philip Comfort, "generally concurs" with the Alexandrian witnesses, א A and B. , it has not yet been placed in any of Biblical scholar Kurt Aland's categories of New Testament manuscripts.
