 The handwriting of the text from the beginning of Luke to 1 Corinthians 10 : 8 , differs from that of the rest parts of the manuscript . Some letters have Coptic shapes ( <unk> Α , Μ , Δ , and Π ) . The letters are more widely spaced and are a little larger than elsewhere . Delta has extended base and Pi has extended cross @-@ stroke . Numerals are not expressed by letters except in Apocalypse 7 : 4 ; 21 : 17 . In the past the codex had been judged to be carelessly written , with many errors of transcription , but not so many as in the Codex Sinaiticus , nor more than in the Codex Vaticanus . Besides the other corrections by later hands there are not a few instances in which the original scribe altered what he had first written . The corrected form of text often agrees with codices : D , N , X , Y , Γ , Θ , Π , Φ and majority of the minuscule manuscripts .
