  ## Description
  
  The codex contains a small part of the Gospel of Matthew 12:17-19.23-25; 13:32; 13:36-15:26 on five elegant parchment leaves (30 centimetres (12 in) by 22 centimetres (8.7 in)). It is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page, in large uncial letters. The writing is elegant, it uses breathings and accents. The letters are leaned into right.
  
  The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters). There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons.
  
  Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 7th century.
  
  The manuscript was brought by Constantin von Tischendorf in 1845 and in 1853 from Sinai. Tischendorf edited its text in Monumenta sacra inedita.
  
  The codex is divided, and located in three places:
  
  * Russian National Library (Gr. 16, 1 f.) in Saint Petersburg — Matt. 12:17-19.23-25
  * Universitätsbibliothek (Cod. Gr. 7, 4 ff.), in Leipzig — Matt. 13:46-55 (Leipziger Blätter) brought by Tischendorf from the east in 1845
  * Selly Oak College (Mingana Chr. Arab. 93) in Birmingham.
