Text

The Greek text of this manuscript probably is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty. It is still not assigned to any of Aland's Categories of New Testament manuscripts.[1]

Location

The manuscript is currently housed at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Pap. K. 7244) at Vienna.[1][2]
