Uncial 057 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated palaeographically to the 4th or 5th century.[1]
Description
The codex contains a part of the Acts of Apostles (3:5-6,10-12), on fragment of only one leaf (9 cm by 13 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, 27 lines per page.[1] The letters are small, about 2 mm high. C. R. Gregory added it to the list of New Testament manuscripts in 1908.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is a good representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category I.[1]
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 4th or 5th century.[3]
The codex now is located at the Berlin State Museums (P. 9808), in Berlin.[1][3]
