Description
{{Grenfell and Hunt}}
The manuscript is written in a documentary hand. There are about 37-38 lines per page. Grenfeld and Hunt conjectured that π15 and π16 might have been part of the same manuscript. Both manuscripts have the same formation of letters, line space, and punctuation.
The nomina sacra are written in an abbreviated way. The text was not corrected.Klaus Wachtel, Klaus Witte, [https://books.google.com/books?id=gEzctvICPS0C&pg=RA1-PA1&lpg=RA1-PA1&dq= Das Neue Testament auf Papyrus: Gal., Eph., Phil., Kol., 1. u. 2.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I.{{Cite book
