Acquisition information:
Written probably in Switzerland or southern Germany. The state of preservation, and “101” in ink (s. XIX) on the upper right-hand corner of the recto, suggest that the leaf was part of a codex until at least the nineteenth century. From the collection of Otto F. Ege; purchased by UCLA from Dawson's Book Shop, Los Angeles.
