| Script | Early Half-Uncial |
| Date | V² (451 - 500) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Origin uncertain, presumably Egypt. The papyrus is palaeographically important since it contains on the last page of the glossary an alphabet in uncial and, except d and y, all the letters, even q, are kept between two lines; unfortunately the letter a is absent. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is rapid and uncalligraphic early half-uncial: a is uncial, the bow is loop-shaped and the stem is slightly curved; c rises above the line, as does e; Ᵹ mostly resembles arabic 5; i-longa is used indifferently passim, especially after ꞇ, extending above and below the line; i after f and l is pendant, as in later Latin cursive; N is regularly capital, and the first upright goes below the line as in the Livy Epitome (CLA 2.208); o is often shrunk, as in Greek; the bow of p is decidedly small; the shoulder of r is high. The Latin seems influenced by the Greek, the scribe apparently more at home with Greek than with Latin; there is some resemblance to the Barcelona papyrus (CLA 12.1782). |
