• Florence Italy Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana 19659 (P. S. I. 1347)

Written in some important Eastern centre, probably at Byzantium, to judge by the type of uncial. Our fragments may come from a copy of the first edition, published in 529. Found in Egypt.

Script is a stately, roundish uncial of a distinct type which probably originated at Byzantium and is seen in the Laurentian Digests (3.295), in the new Gaius leaves (3.292), and in a number of other legal fragments (cf. CLA 2.211): the bow of uncial A is roundish; B is tall with the lower bow oval-shaped and inclined to the left; the hasta of uncial E is thin; N has the two uprights thick and the cross-stroke thin, as in Greek uncial; the bow of R descends to the base-line and the last stroke is almost horizontal. Some Latin corrections and some Greek interlinear commentary. In the lower margin of the verso is the Greek monogram Ιοαννης by a later hand.
