Description

The Greek text of this codex is too short to put in a family. Grenfell and Hunt noticed its agreement with Codex Bezae, 1597, and some Old-Latin manuscripts.B. P. Grenfell & A. S. Hunt, Oxyrynchus Papyri XIII, (London 1919), p. 10. According to Aland it is a "free text" and it was placed by him in Category I. According to Bruce M. Metzger and David Alan BlackDavid Alan Black, New Testament Textual Criticism, Baker Books, 2006, p. 65. the manuscript might be related to the Western text-type, but Philip Comfort stated "the fragment is too small to be certain of its textual character".

It is currently housed at the Bodleian Library, Gr. bibl. g. 4 (P) in Oxford.
