Uncial 0131 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 81 (Soden),[1] is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 9th-century. Formerly it was labeled by Wd.[2]
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 (24.5 cm by 18.5 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page, in uncial letters.[3] The letters are leaned in right.[4] 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 (titles) in red stand at the top of the pages. It has music notes.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is mixed, with a strong element of the Alexandrian text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category III.[3]
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 (after κατιδιαν).[5] According to Scrivener it is close to codices: א B D L Δ.[2]
In Mark 7:35 it reads και του μογγιλαλου.[6]
It is dated by the INTF to the 9th-century.[7]
The leaves of this manuscript were discovered by William White in 1857 in book of Gregory of Nazianzus.[4] The codex came from the Athos. Since 1861 they are stored separately from this book, on the order of Henry Bradshaw.[4]
The manuscript was examined and fully collated by F. H. A. Scrivener.[8]
The codex is located now at the Trinity College (B VIII, 5) in Cambridge.[3]
