It is to be noted as to readings that T^ lias the article before Jesus 

 with L while ^F and l^^ qj^j^ \^ j^ j^^s Icpavv] aoroTg, and adds 

 r^liou with me codd (mg) aeth codd. It is unique in reading a-' be- 

 fore a^o!.zol%c and in the reading I'^tiziciXtiXz'v . It does not however 

 contain ociJZoCic for (x.uzdi<; as can be seen by reference to the accom- 

 panying photograph. This was a mistake of Amelineau, followed by 

 Swete but corrected by Gregory (Textkritik des N.T. p. 71).' 



It is to be noted, as explained by Amelineau "Ce feuillet a ete place 

 a Ten vers par le relieur ; le verso doit etre au recto." 



Since the fragment consists of one folio it is not possible to deter- 

 mine accurately the text relations, but since the other uncials show- 

 ing the double ending are allied to S B it seems probable that this MS 

 is related to the same family. 



The MS is dated in the seventh or eighth century, and the Coptic 

 type of writing, and the signs used, as well as the place where it was 

 found all make it certain that it was copied in Egypt. 



The study of this MS confirms the conclusions drawn from a study 

 of the other uncials containing the double ending, and we gain from 

 it another glimpse of the struggle of the Longer with the Shorter 

 Conclusion in Egypt. 



The discussion of Amelineau should be supplemented by Gregory 

 (Textkritik des N.T. pp. 70, 71, 1026, 1065, 1066).
