Codex 0205 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering). It is a diglot Greek-Coptic (Sahidic) uncial manuscript of the Epistle to Titus and the Epistle to Philemon, dated paleographically to the 8th century (J. M. Plumley proposed 7th or 6th-century).
The uncial 0205 was possibly a complete codex of the Pauline epistles, of which only 2 leaves survived (32 cm by 22.5 cm). Each page contains two parallel columns with 35 lines, and 12-13 letters per line. The codex is written in Greek and Coptic, but it is not a genuine diglot manuscript. On the first page, the first column and the first seven lines of the second column contains Titus 2:15b-3:7 in Greek. At this point the Coptic text begins with Titus 2:11 and continues to the end of Philemon. The Greek represents only 15% of the text of the manuscript.
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category II.[1]
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 8th century.[1] [2] It was found in White Monastery.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Ernst von Dobschütz in 1933.[4] [5]
J. K. Elliott from University of Leeds published description of its text and facsimile.[6]
The codex is located in the Cambridge University Library (Or. 1699 II x).
