		The other great Uncials are the Codex Vaticanus, shown at Station 48 (early 4th century; both Testaments in Latin) and the Codex Sinaiticus (early 4th century, written in Greek).
		Other early manuscripts include the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (5th century, once containing both Testaments but "erased" and written over in the 12th, with modern techniques having recovered most of the original text), and the Codex Bezae (5th century, Gospels and Acts only).
