Uncial 064 Explained

Uncial 064 designated by (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 10 (von Soden), is a Greek uncial codex of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Formerly it was labelled by Θ^e.^[1] Palimpsest.

Description

The manuscript contains the gospels of Matt 25:15 — Mark 5:20. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 6th century. The text is written in two columns per page, 25 lines per page. At the time Caspar René Gregory originally allocated numbers to manuscripts, it was not known with certainty that uncials 064, 074 and 090 were from the one manuscript, because they are held in three locations:

codex 074 in Saint Catherine's Monastery (Harris 10)

codex 090 in National Library of Russia, Saint Petersburg (Gr. 276).^[2]

It is a palimpsest. The upper text contains Syriac liturgica.^[3]

The Greek text of these codecs are a representatives of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.^[3]

Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 6th century.^[4]
