The manuscript is considered to be a witness to the
Alexandrian text-type, following the text of
Codex Alexandrinus (
A) and
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (
C). In a comparison of the textual readings of this manuscript, Parker notes it is "usually right" when it agrees with A as opposed to C, incorrect when it disagrees with both, and only right less than half the time when it disagrees with A. Accordingly, this shows that the text seen in A "confirms the superior quality" of A as opposed to the text seen in C. The textual variants against
Codex Sinaiticus and show that is more often right in reading the same as as opposed to . The manuscript also agrees with some later minuscules, which Parker states that "new discoveries sometimes show late witnesses to contain variants that are far older than we could have known." According to Parker, the agreement of readings between this manuscripts and A and C "confirms the high quality of ." An interesting element of is that it apparently gives the
number of the beast in Revelation 13:18 as
616 (
chi,
iota,
stigma / ), rather than the majority reading of
666 (chi, xi, stigma / ΧΞϚ)), as does
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus. According to the transcription of the
INTF, a conjectured reading of the manuscript, due to the space left, is [] η (
666 or 616), therefore not giving a definitive number to the beast. ; Some notable readings : και το τριτον της σεληνης (
