The surviving text of Revelation includes verses 1:13–2:1 in a fragmentary condition. The script is well-formed and large.[2] It was formed in a scroll. The biblical text is on the side verso. On the recto is another documentary text dated to the end of the 1st century or the beginning of the 2nd century.[2] Side verso of the scroll was used for the biblical text at the end of the 2nd century.
It has an error of dittography in the first line – περι̣εζωσμμ̣εν̣ον instead of περιεζωσμενον.[2]

In Rev 1:18 it lacks the phrase και ο ζων as Latin Codex Gigas and some manuscripts of Vulgate. It is the only Greek manuscript not containing this phrase.[4]
History
The manuscript was probably written in Egypt.
The first publisher was Wagner in 1971,[5] who did not know that it was a biblical text. Hagedorn discovered that it was the text of Rev. 1:13–2:1.[2]
