The leaf is in fragmentary condition (originally 19 by 25 cm).[2] The text fills in where Codex Vaticanus is vacant (from Hebrews 9:14).[2]
The Nomina Sacra are used throughout. The scribe used marks for punctuation between verses 12 and 13, and between 15 and 16.[2] It has no iotacistic errors.
The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category II.[1]
It was discovered by Lord Crawford in Egypt.[3] The text was edited in 1911 by Grenfell and Hunt.[4]
Currently housed at the Cambridge University Library (Add. 5893) in Cambridge.[1][5]
