Text
Its version of the four Gospels and Book of Acts follows the Old Latin, while the rest of the New Testament follows the Vulgate.Template:R Thus the codex represents a mixed form of the Latin New Tesament text. It is generally a European Old Latin text, named Itala, strongly interpolated by Afra. Both text were contaminated by Jerome's Vulgate.Template:R
In Matthew 27:38, the two robbers who were crucified on either side of Jesus are named as Zoatham (right-hand) and Camma (left-hand),[3] but in Mark 15:27 they are named 'Zoatham and Chammatha.[4]Template:R
