Uncial 0220 is a leaf of a late third century Greek codex containing The Epistle to the Romans. It was purchased in Cairo and is now part of the no:Martin Schøyen collection housed in Oslo and London. Uncial 0220 measures 12 by 15 cm from a page of 14 lines. The recto (4:23-5:3) is legible, but little can be made out on the verso (5:8-12). The scribe wrote in a reformed documentary hand. The Alands describe the text-type as "strict". Uncial 0220 is an important early witness to the Alexandrian text-type, agreeing with Vaticanus everywhere except 5:1.[1] It is classed as a "consistently cited witness of the first order" in the Novum Testamentum Graece.[2] NA27 considers it even more highly than other witnesses of this type. It provides an exclamation mark (!) for "papyri and uncial manuscripts of particular significance because of their age."[3] The text was published by William Hatch in the Harvard Theological Review in 1952.
