Script Commentary	Script is early half-uncial of a type in some respects recalling that of the Leiden Paulus (see CLA 10.1577); A and 𐌾 are uncial; H is capital; the foot of L descends obliquely below the line; the shoulder of r is square; the Latin letters N, o, p, and ꞇ conform to the Greek norms. Another hand using black ink corrected certain passages in the Latin and separated verses with paragraph marks or with a point when a new one begins on the line on which the preceding verse ends. For other details see under Manchester and Milan (CLA 2.227; 3.367).
