Physical Description

Vellum, about 9 1/8 in. by 7, consisting of 28 leaves, some of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1—5, 9, 12 and 23. The quires are now only 4 in number, of which the 3d and 4th are very imperfect, leaves being wanting after foll. 22, 26 and 28. What the original signatures were, is not apparent; later hands have marked the quires with letters, and with arithmetical figures, and one reader has numbered the pages with Coptic ciphers (on the verso at the top). Each page is divided into two columns, of from 28 to 33 lines.

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): The writing is a good, regular Esṭrangĕlā of the vith cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.
Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.
Hand 4 (minor, Unspecified Coptic script): See additions.
Hand 5 (minor, Unspecified Greek script): See additions.
Hand 6 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.
