Uncial 0169 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), known also as the Princeton fragment, is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated palaeographically to the 4th century.

Description

The codex contains a small parts of the Book of Revelation 3:19-4:3, on an almost complete parchment leaf (9.3 cm by 7.7 cm). It is written in one column per page, 14 lines per page, in small uncial letters.[1] The hand of the codex is a fair-sized upright uncial, fairly regular.[2]

The letter sigma was formed with two strokes of the pen, and epsilon with three strokes; the letters kappa and upsilon have serifs.[2]:{{{3}}}

The two pages are numbered in the outside upper corner 33 and 34.[3] The nomina sacra are written in abbreviated forms, but some of the usual contractions are written in length forms (e.g. ουρανω).[4]

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category III.[1] According to R. H. Charles the text is "much more closely with Codex Sinaiticus than with any other uncial". The text seems to be inaccurately copied.[4]

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 4th century.[1]:{{{3}}}[5]

The text was edited in 1911 by Grenfell and Hunt.[6]

The codex currently is housed at the Princeton Theological Seminary (Speer Library, Pap. 5) in Princeton.[1]:{{{3}}}[5]:{{{3}}}
