== Description ==
Uncial 0171 measures 5.7 cm by 9.2 cm from a page of two columns of 23 lines. The scribe wrote in a reformed documentary hand.<ref>Philip W Comfort and David P Barrett, ''The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts'', (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers Incorporated, 2001), 684-691.</ref> It has errors of itacism, the nomina sacra are contracted (<span style="text-decoration: overline">ΚΣ</span>, <span style="text-decoration: overline">ΙΗΣ</span>). ανθρωπος is uncontracted. Luke 22:51 and 22:62 are omitted.
The Alands describe the text as "an early (secondary?) form of the D [[Codex Bezae|[Codex Bezae]]] text" and "paraphrastic". Uncial 0171 is an important witness to the existence of the Western text-type in Egypt.<ref>Bruce Manning Metzger, ''The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration'', 4th edition, (New York City: Oxford University Press, 2005).</ref> Aland placed it in Category IV.<ref>{{cite book | last = Aland | first = Kurt | author-link = Kurt Aland | last2 = Aland | first2 = Barbara | translator =Erroll F. Rhodes | title = The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism | publisher = William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company | year = 1995 | location = Grand Rapids | page = 123 | isbn = 0-8028-4098-1}}</ref> It is the earliest Greek witness with text of Luke 22:43–44.
It is classed as a "consistently cited witness of the first order" in Nestle-Aland's ''Novum Testamentum Graece''.<ref name=NA27>Eberhard Nestle, Erwin Nestle, Barbara Aland and Kurt Aland (eds), ''Novum Testamentum Graece'', 27th edition, (Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 2001), 58.</ref> Its 27th edition (NA27) considers it even more highly than other witnesses of this type. It provides an exclamation mark (!) for "papyri and uncial manuscripts of particular significance because of their age."<ref name=NA27/>
The manuscript was found in 1903–1905 in Hermopolis Magna.<ref>James Neville Birdsall, ''A Fresh Examination of the Fragments of the Gospel of St. Luke in MS. 0171 and an Attempted Reconstruction with Special Reference to the Recto''.</ref> The text was first published by the Società Italiana in Florence in 1912. Hermann von Soden knew the first fragment only in time to include it in the list of addenda in 1913. He classified it within his Ια text.<ref>Hermann von Soden, ''Die Schriften des Neuen Testaments'' (Göttingen 1913), pp. 895, 903–904.</ref> Marie-Joseph Lagrange gave a collation, he classifies the fragment in his "recension D", and argues that the divergences of the fragment from the Codex Bezae are due to idiosyncrasies either of that manuscript or of the fragment itself.<ref>M.-J. Lagrange, ''Critique textuelle'' II, ''La Critique rationelle'' (Paris, 1935), pp. 71-76.</ref> Kurt Treu identified the Matthew and Luke portions as the work of the same scribe on the same codex.<ref>Kurt Treu, ''Archiv für Papyrusforschung'' '''18''' (1966): 25-28.</ref> Later again, Neville Birdsall observed that a lower portion of the manuscript had been overlooked in the ''editio princeps''.<ref>J. Neville Birdsall, 'A fresh examination of the fragments of the gospel of St. Luke in Ms. 0171 and an attempted reconstruction with special reference to the recto', in Roger Gryson (editor), ''Philologia Sacra: Biblische und patristische Studien für Hermann J Frede und :de:Walter Thiele zu ihrem siebzigsten Geburtstag'', Vetus Latina '''24''', (Freiburg: Herder, 1993), 212-217.</ref>
