History

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 12th century, Gregory dated it to the 13th century.[1] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 13th century.[2][3]

It was purchased from Spyridon P. Lambros from Athens, on 26 March 1859 (along with lectionaries 321, 322, and 324).[1][5][4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener (271e)[5] and Caspar René Gregory (number 323e).[1] Gregory saw it in 1883.[1]

The manuscript was mentioned by Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum, 1854-1875,[6] by M. Richard.[7]

The codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 22743) in London.[2][3]

The fragment is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[8] NA28[9]).
