The codex was originally assigned palaeographically to 175–225 CE by Victore Martin and Rodolphe Kasser. They compared the handwriting to manuscripts P.Oxy.XXI 2293, P.Oxy.XXII 2322, P.Oxy.XXIII 2362, P.Oxy.XXIII 2363, and P.Oxy.XXII 2370. However this palaeographical comparison was called into question in 2016, where Brent Nongbri argued on the basis of comparative evidence, that handwriting very similar to that of was still in use in the fourth century. There were also other codicological features which accorded with manuscripts firmly dated to the fourth century.
