The surviving texts of Mark are verses 2:1-26. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the 4th century.[1]
Don Barker proposes a wider and earlier range of dates for Papyrus 88, along with Uncial 0232, Papyrus 39 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.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is mixed. Aland placed it in Category III.[1]
