Written apparently in the Byzantine Empire. Found in Egypt. Bought by Seymour de Ricci from Ali in Gizeh, in 1908.

Script is a curious type of sloping uncial, written with a pen cut for Greek script: the bow of uncial A is pointed and rather small; the back of uncial E is almost a straight line; L extends below the following letter as in older sloping scripts (CLA 2.248); m and r are half-uncial; the top-stroke of T ends in two downward finials, as in Greek uncial of the period (CLA 3.306).
