Description

The original codex contained lessons from the Gospels (Evangelistarium), on 2 fragment parchment leaves, with some lacunae.[1] It contains the text of Matthew 20:8-15; Luke 1:14-20.[1]

The text is written in Greek uncial letters.[2][3]

History

Gregory dated the manuscript to the 9th century.[1] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 9th century.[2][3]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Caspar René Gregory (number 312^e).[1] Constantin von Tischendorf saw it in 1844.[1]

Currently the codex is housed at the Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai.[2][3]
