Codex Porphyrianus designated by Papr or 025 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 3 (von Soden),[1] is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Acts of Apostles, Pauline epistles, and General epistles, with some lacunae, dated paleographically to the 9th century. It is one of a few uncial manuscripts that include the Book of Revelation.[2]

It was discovered and edited by Constantin von Tischendorf. The manuscript is lacunose.

[edit]

The codex contains 327 parchment leaves (16 cm by 13 cm), written in one column per page, 24 lines per page. It is a palimpsest, the upper text is the codex 1834, dated to 1301. It contains the commentary of Euthalius on the Acts and the Pauline epistles together with the biblical text.[2] It has breathings, accents, and apostrophes. The accents are often used wrongly.[3] It has "Martyrdom of Peter and Paul" (between Pauline epistles and Book of Revelation).[4]

It has errors of itacism. The letters αι and ε, η, ει and ι, ο and ω, and sometimes οι and υ are confused.[4]
