The beginning of the parchment Cod. 56 (according to the most recent inventory) of the Patriarchal library of Alexandria has two paper and two parchment flyleaves. The parchment folios provide pericopes of the Gospel of John in Greek. The paper leaves are blank.
The text of the Gospel is written in pointed upright majuscule script with decorated initials, in two columns of 17-18 lines. Ekphonetic notation and nomina sacra appear throughout the text.
