An Uncatalogued Fragment of Acts in Bulgaria

Recently at the NT Textual Criticism discussion-group on Facebook, Georgi Parpulov announced the existence of an manuscript containing text from Acts 9:31-10:5 which has not been assigned a Gregory-Aland identification number.  Let's take a closer look at this fragment, which is in the Bachkovo Monastery.

Parpulov assigns it to the 1100s.  Its text is thoroughly Byzantine, agreeing with the Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Textform in thirteen out of thirteen legible (to me) variation-units.  It has one unusual omission, in 9:33, where the words ἐπὶ κραββάτῳ are absent.
