Don Barker proposes a wider and earlier range of dates for Uncial 0232, along with Papyrus 39, Papyrus 88 and Uncial 0206; and states that all four could be dated as early as the late second century or as late as the end of the fourth century.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Kurt Aland in 1953.[4]
The codex is housed at the Ashmolean Museum (P. Ant. 12), in Oxford.[1]
