Pages/Columns (notes):

7 lines recto (↓); 6 lines verso (→ ). Note that the designations recto and verso are reversed in Gronewald et al. 2003; here we assume the side written on the vertical fibres (↓) was the recto (i.e., first side written) following normal practice from the fifth century onwards. Gronewald et al. also note that (following their terminology) the verso (↓) follows the recto (→ ) based on the logic of the text (Gronewald et al. 2003: p. 38).

Hand:

Semi-cursive hand, can be dated to the sixth century based on Cavallo-Maehler, Greek Bookshands 32b (Gronewald et al. 2003: p. 38).
