A number of manuscripts were found at Geniza, in the Ben Ezra Synagogue, Egypt, and these palimpsest fragments were brought to Cambridge by Solomon Schechter.{{sfn|Schürer|Vermes|Millar|2014|pp=497}} The fragments were published by Charles Taylor in his work Hebrew-Greek Cairo Genizah Palimpsests in 1900, pp. 54–65.{{sfn|Taylor|1900|pp=54-65}}{{sfn|Marcos|2001|pp=113}}

The manuscript consists of three leaves.{{sfn|Schürer|Vermes|Millar|2014|pp=497}} The manuscript contains two texts: the text of part of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, and the Palestinian Talmud. The texts have been written 90 degrees apart.

Aquila's translation was undertaken around the year c.130 C.E. Aquila's text contains parts of Psalms 90-103.{{sfn|Schürer|Vermes|Millar|2014|pp=497}} The fragments contain Psalms 90:17, 91:1-16, 92:1-10, 93:3, 96:7-13, 97:1-12, 102:16-29, and 103:1-13.{{sfn|Schürer|Vermes|Millar|2014|pp=497}} According to Taylor, the script of this manuscript is similar to that of the AqBurkitt, in bold uncial letters, without capital letter either at beginnings or paragraphs or as the first letter of the page.{{sfn|Burkitt|1897|pp=10}}

The manuscript is written in koine Greek, but it contains the tetragrammaton in archaic Hebrew script characters (15px15px15px15px) in Ps 91:2, 9; 92:1, 4, 5, 8, 9; 96:7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13; 97:1, 5, 9, 10, 12; 102:15, 16, 19, 21; 103:1, 2, 6, 8.{{sfn|Andrews|2016|pp=23}}

The upper text is the Palestinian Talmud written in Hebrew.{{sfn|Gallagher|2013|pp=3}}

Today the manuscript is kept at Library of the University of Cambridge.
