Uncial 0265 Explained

Uncial 0265 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 6th century.

Description

The codex contains small parts of the Gospel of Luke 7:20-21,34-35, on one parchment leaf (27 cm by 22 cm). It is survived in a fragmentary condition. Probably it was written in two columns per page, 25 lines per page, in uncial letters.^[1]

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 6th century.^{[1] [2]}

Location

Currently the codex is housed at the Berlin State Museums (P. 16994) in Berlin.^[1]

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, though text is too brief for certainty. Aland with some hesitation placed it in Category V.^[1]
