And the nomina sacra are written in abbreviated forms: "ΙϹ", "XC", "YC", "ΠΝΑ", "KΣ".

Herman C. Hoskier (see below), who finds 17–20 word variations, denied close agreement with Vaticanus.

The manuscript was examined by Francis Crawford Burkitt, Herman C. Hoskier, Comfort and many other scholars.

They found that the manuscript belongs to the same class as the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices, and has no Western or Byzantine proclivities.

Where they differ, the manuscript is near to Vaticanus, except in one important case (του δε Ιησου Χριστου), where it agrees with Sinaiticus.
