Codex Guelferbytanus A designated by Pe or 024 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 33 (von Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated palaeographically to the 6th century. The manuscript is very lacunose.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels in a very fragmentary condition on 44 leaves (26.5 cm by 21.5 cm). Written in two columns per page, 24 lines per column. It does not contain in genere breathings and accents. Sometimes it uses breathings, but often wrongly. It has errors of iotacism in the Alexandrian way.
The notation of the Ammonian Sections is given in the margin of text, but without reference to the Eusebian Canons. The nomina sacra attested in this uncial fragment are ΙΣ (Iesous, Jesus) ΧΣ (Christos, Christ), ΚΣ (Kurios, Lord) ΘΣ, ΥΣ, ΠΗΡ, ΠΝΑ, ΙΛΗΜ, ΑΝΟΣ, and ΔΑΔ. The number "forty" is also written with an abbreviation — Μ. All the abbreviations are marked with the superscript bar.
It is a palimpsest. The whole book is known as Codex Guelferbytanus 64 Weissenburgensis. The upper text is in Latin and contains Isidore of Seville's Origines.
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V. According to the Claremont Profile Method in Luke 20 it has mixed text.
