==== Provenance ==== Little is known of the manuscript's early history. According to Hort, it was written in the West, probably in Rome, as suggested by the fact that the chapter division in the Acts of the Apostles common to Sinaiticus and Vaticanus occurs in no other Greek manuscript, but is found in several manuscripts of the Latin [[Vulgate]].<ref>Brook F. Westcott and Fenton J. A. Hort, ''Introduction to the New Testament in the Original Greek'' (New York: Harper & Bros., 1882; reprint, Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 1988), pp. 264β267.</ref> [[Armitage Robinson|Robinson]] countered this argument, suggesting that this system of chapter divisions was introduced into the Vulgate by [[Jerome]] himself, as a result of his studies at [[Early centers of Christianity#Caesarea|Caesarea]].<ref>Robinson, A., ''Euthaliana'', pp. 42, 101.</ref> According to [[Frederic G. Kenyon|Kenyon]] the forms of the letters are Egyptian and they were found in Egyptian papyri of earlier date.{{r|Kenyon|p=128}} [[Victor Gardthausen|Gardthausen]],<ref>{{Cite book | first=Victor | last=Gardthausen | author-link=Victor Gardthausen | title=Griechische paleographie | volume=2 | pages=124β125 | year=1913 | publisher=Verlag von Veit & Co. | location=Leipzig | language=de | url=https://archive.org/details/griechischepaleo02gard }}</ref> Ropes and [[Sidney Jellicoe|Jellicoe]] thought it was written in [[Egypt]]. Biblical scholar [[J. Rendel Harris]] believed that the manuscript came from the [[Theological Library of Caesarea Maritima|library of Pamphilus]] at Caesarea Maritima.{{r|Kenyon|p=128}} [[Burnett Hillman Streeter|Streeter]],{{r|Streeter}} Skeat, and Milne also believed that it was produced in Caesarea.{{r|Skeat-lastchap}}
