The Greek text of this codex, which was edited by H. A. Sanders in 1921, is a good representative of the Alexandrian text-type, agreeing more closely with א, A, C, and 33, than with P46, B or 1739.[6] Aland placed it in Category II, ascribing it to the Egyptian text.[7] Its fragmentary nature limits its usefulness.
In 2 Timothy 1:11 it reads καὶ διδάσκαλος (and teacher) along with א*, A, 1175, syrpal;[clarification needed] the majority of manuscripts read καὶ διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν (and teacher of nations).[8]
