Codex Porphyrianus

Codex Porphyrianus designated by Papr or 025 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 3 (von Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Acts of Apostles, Pauline epistles, and General epistles, with some lacunae, dated paleographically to the 9th century. It is one of a few uncial manuscripts that include the Book of Revelation.

It was discovered and edited by Constantin von Tischendorf. The manuscript is lacunose.

The codex contains 327 parchment leaves (16 cm by 13 cm), written in one column per page, 24 lines per page. It is a palimpsest, the upper text is the codex 1834, dated to 1301. It contains the commentary of Euthalius on the Acts and the Pauline epistles together with the biblical text. It has breathings, accents, and apostrophes. The accents are often used wrongly. It has "Martyrdom of Peter and Paul" (between Pauline epistles and Book of Revelation).

It has errors of itacism. The letters αι and ε, η, ει and ι, ο and ω, and sometimes οι and υ are confused.

Ending of the Epistle to the Romans has the order of verses: 16:23; 16:25–27; 16:24 (as in codices 33 104 256 263 365 436 459 1319 1573 1852 arm).

At the end of the Second Epistle to Timothy it has the subscription Τιμοθεον Β' απο Ρωμης, the same as manuscripts 6, 1739, 1881.

Acts 1:1–2:13; Romans 2:16–3:4; 8:32–9:10; 11:23–12:1; 1 Cor. 7:15–17; 12:23–13:5; 14:23–39; 2 Cor. 2:13–16; Col. 3:16–4:8; 1 Thes. 3:5–4:17; 1 John 3:20–5:1; Jude 4–15; Rev. 16:12–17:1; 19:21–20:9; 22:6–end.

The Greek text of the Pauline and General epistles is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type with a large number of an alien readings. It is only a tertiary witness of the Alexandrian text. Aland placed it in Category III. Text of Acts and Revelation has typical Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.
