Earthen vessels (σκευη, οστρακινα) were in universal use in the antiquity. They are twice mentioned in the New Testament: 2 Corinthians 4:7 and in 2 Timothy 2:20.
2 Corinthians 4:7
- Εχομεν δε τον θησαυρον τουτον εν οστρακινοις σκευεσιν ινα η υπερβολη της δυναμεως η του θεου και μη εξ ημων.
2 Timothy 2:20
- Εν μεγαλη δε οικια ουκ εστιν μονον σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα αλλα και ξυλινα και οστρακινα και α μεν εις τιμην α δε εις ατιμιαν.
The Greek text of the codex is too brief to determine its textual character.

One sure, if another fails:”
