Uncial 0131


Uncial 0131, ε 81, is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 9th-century. Formerly it was labeled by Wd.

Description

The codex contains a small part of the Mark 7:3-4.6-8.30-8:16; 9:2.7-9, on four parchment leaves. The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page, in uncial letters. The letters are leaned in right. Breathings and accents are often very faint.
The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, without references to the Eusebian Canons, but a kind of harmony of the Gospels is given at the foot of the columns. The τιτλοι in red stand at the top of the pages. It has music notes.

Text

The Greek text of this codex is mixed, with a strong element of the Alexandrian text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category III.
The text is different from the Textus Receptus in 7:3.6.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37; 8:1.2.4.5.6.7.10.12.14.16; 9:2.7.8. It has unique reading in Mark 7:33 επτυσεν εις τους δακτυλους αυτου και. According to Scrivener it is close to codices: א B D L Δ.
In Mark 7:35 it reads και του μογγιλαλου.
