Excerpt from The Psalms in Greek: According to the Septuagint, With the Canticles
Written in an uncial hand ascribed to the middle of the fourth century. The lines, of which there are 48 in each column, are arranged in four columns through out the prose books, but in the Psalms and other poetical books two columns fill the page, as in Cod. Vaticanus. The leaves are unusually large and of a very fine vellum, made from the skin of the ass or the antelope; with two exceptions they are gathered into quires of four. There are no breathings or accents; and a single point is occasionally used. Of the earlier part of the O. T. Fragments alone remain; the Psalms are entire.
