Written presumably in Byzantium, to judge by resemblances to the Florentine Justinian Digests. Found at Antinoë.

Script, which leans slightly to the left, is small graceful uncial of the distinct type characterized by the forms of B and R and seen mostly in legal manuscripts (see CLA 12.1723); the most noted representative of the type is the Florentine Digests (CLA 3.295); A has a rounded bow; B rises above the line; noteworthy is the form of G with the tail descending to the left ending in a slight turn to the right, a feature seen in the above-mentioned Digests and in the Gaius leaves in Florence (CLA 3.292); the upright of R goes below the line, the bow is large, and the final stroke is almost horizontal; the upright of T resembles a shallow C, and often only the left side of the top is seen. Numerous marginal and interlinear notes by several hands, mostly contemporary, in both Greek and Latin.
