70. Camb. Univ. Lib. Ll. ii. 13 [xv], 11-¼ x 7-¼ ff. 186 (23), orn., τίτλ. in margin, κεφ. Lat., vers., was written, like Codd. 30, 62, 287, by G. Hermonymus the Spartan (who settled at Paris, 1472, and became the Greek teacher of Budaeus and Reuchlin), for William Bodet; there are marginal corrections by Budaeus, from whose letter to Bp. Tonstall we may fix the date about a.d. 1491-4. It once belonged to Bunckle of London, then to Bp. Moore. Like Cod. 62 it has the Latin chapters (Mill).
*71. Lambeth 528 [a.d. 1100], 6-½ x 4-¾, ff. 265 (26), is Mill's Eph. and Scrivener's g. This elegant copy, which once belonged to an Archbishop of Ephesus, was brought to England in 1675 by Philip Traheron, English Chaplain at Smyrna. Traheron made a careful collation of his manuscript, of which both the rough copy (B. M., Burney 24) and a fair one (Lambeth 528 b) survive. This last Scrivener in [pg 204] 1845 compared with the original, and revised, especially in regard to later corrections, of which there are many. Mill used Traheron's collation very carelessly. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t. [xv], κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. This copy presents a text full of interest, and much superior to that of the mass of manuscripts of its age. See Cod. 29.
72. Brit. Mus. Harleian. 5647 [xi], large 4to, 10 x 8, ff. 268 (22, 24), an elegant copy, with a catena on St. Matthew, κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ. (Mark), various readings in the ample margin. Lent by T. Johnson to (Wetstein).
73. Christ Church, Oxford, Wake 26 [xi], 4to, 9-7/8 x 8-1/8, ff. 291, κεφ. t., Eus. t., vers., κεφ., Am., Eus., τίτλ., pict., few lect. It is marked “Ex dono Mauri Cordati Principis Hungaro-Walachiae, Ao 1724.” This and Cod. 74 were once Archbishop Wake's, and were collated for Wetstein by (Jo. Walker, Wake MS. 35)235.
74. Christ Church, Oxford, Wake 20 [xiii], 8 x 6, ff. 204, written by Theodore (see p. 42, note 3). Mut. Matt. i. 1-14; v. 29-vi. 1; thirty-two verses. It came in 1727 from the Monastery of Παντοκράτωρ, on Mount Athos. Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., syn., men., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., subscr., vers.
75. Cod. Genevensis 19 [xi], 9 x 6-½, ff. 500 (19), Carp., Eus. t, prol., κεφ. t., Am., τίτλ., Eus., lect., pict., men. In text it much resembles that of Cod. 6. Seen in 1714 by Wetstein, examined by Scholz (collated Matt. i-vi, John vii, viii), collated (Matt. i-xviii, Mark i-v) by Cellérier, a Professor at Geneva, whose collation (Matt. i-xviii) is corrected and supplemented with Matt. xix-end by H. C. Hoskier, though his visit to the MS. was unfortunately short. The first diorthota made corrections and additions as regards breathings and stops. Other corrections made not much later (Hoskier, Collation of 604, App. G).
76. (Act. 43, Paul. 49.) Cod. Caesar-Vindobonensis, Nessel. 300, Lambec. 28 [xi-xiii], 7-½ x 5-3/8, ff. 358 (27), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men., pict. This copy (the only one known to read αὐτῆς with the Complutensian and other editions in Luke ii. 22) is erroneously called an uncial by Mill (Gerhard à Mastricht 1690; Ashe 1691; F. K. Alter 1786) (Greg.).
77. Caesar-Vindobon. Nessel. 114, Lambec. 29 [xi], 9-¼ x 8, ff. 300 (21), very neat; with a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus. (lect. and syn. by a later hand). It once belonged to Matthias Corvinus, the great king of Hungary (1458-90). Collated in “Tentamen descriptionis codicum,” &c. 1773 by (Treschow, and also by Alter) (Greg.).
[pg 205]78. Cod. Nicolae Jancovich de Vadass, now in Hungary [xii], 9-1/8 × 5-¾, ff. 293 (22), Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., lect., syn., pict. It was once in the library of king Matthias Corvinus: on the sack of Buda by the Turks in 1527, his noble collection of 50,000 volumes was scattered, and about 1686 this book fell into the hands of S. B., then of J. G., Carpzov of Leipsic, at whose sale it was purchased and brought back to its former country. A previous possessor, in the seventeenth century, was Γεώργιος δεσμοφύλαξ Ναυπλίου. (Collated by C. F. Boerner for Kuster, and “in usum” of Scholz.)
79. Leyden, Bibl. Univ. 74 [xv], Latin version older, 6-½ × 4-¾, ff. 208 (26-28), 2 cols., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν. (all partial). Mut. Matt. i. 1-xiv. 13. Brought by Georg. Douze from Constantinople in 1597, consulted by Gomar in 1644 (Greg.).
80. Paris, Lesoeuf [xii], 9-1/8 × 6-3/8, ff. 309 (23), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ. (also Lat. cent, xv), τίτλ. This MS. belonged to J. G. Graevius, and was collated by Bynaeus in 1691: then it passed into the hands of J. Van der Hagen, who showed it to Wetstein in 1739: afterwards it was bought by Ambrose Didot at a sale, and sold to Mons. Lesoeuf, where Dr. C. R. Gregory saw it. (See Proleg. to Tisch. ed. viii. p. 485.)
81. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 323, Auct. T. Infr. i. 5 [xiii], 7 × 5, ff. 182. Κεφ., τίτλ., some Am. Bought in 1883 from Mr. William Ward who brought it from Ephesus. Contains Matt. xix. 15-xxi. 19; 31-41; xxii. 7-xxviii. 20; Mark i. 9-iii. 18; 35-xv. 15; 32-xvi. 14; Luke i. 18-ii. 19; iii. 7-iv. 40; v. 8-xxii. 5; 36-xxiii. 10; John viii. 4-xxi. 18. This place has been hitherto occupied by Greek MSS. cited in a Correctorium Bibliorum Latinorum of the thirteenth century236. Dr. Hort appropriates this numeral to Muralt's 2pe. (Evan. 473.)
82. Oxf. Bodl. MS. Bibl. Gr. e. I. Some fragments: (1) John iii. 23; (2) 26, 27; (3) 2 Cor. xi. 3: Chart. (1, 2) [xiii], (3) [vi or vii] uncials and minuscules intermixed, and some Coptic and Arabic words.
In this place other fragments have been placed till now. Seven unknown Greek manuscripts of St. John, three of St. Matthew and (apparently) of the other Gospels, cited in Laurentius Valla's “Annotationes in N. T., ex diversorum utriusque linguae, Graecae et Latinae, codicum collatione,” written about 1440, edited by Erasmus, Paris 1505. His copies seem modern, and have probably been used by later critics. The whole subject, however, is very carefully examined in the Rev. A. T. Russell's “Memoirs of the life and works of Bp. Andrewes,” pp. 282-310. Hort's Cod. 82 is Burgon's Venet. xii, to be described hereafter.
[pg 206]83. Cod. Monacensis 518 [xi], 8-½ × 6-½, ff. 321 (20), beautifully written, prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., lect., ἀναγν., syn., men., subscr., στίχ., in the Royal Library at Munich, whither it was brought from Augsburg (Bengel's August. 1, Scholz, Greg.).
84. Monacensis 568 [xii], 6-5/8 × 5-1/8, ff. 65, κεφ., τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), lect. both in the text and margin, contains SS. Matthew and Mark. Mut. Matt. i. 18-xiii. 10; xiii. 27-42; xiv. 3-xviii. 25; xix. 9-21; xxii. 4-Mark vii. 13 (Burgon, Greg.).
85. Monacensis 569 [xiii], 5-½ × 3-¾, ff. 30, κεφ., lect. in vermilion, τίτλ., Am. (not Eus.), contains only Matt. viii. 15-ix. 17; xvi. 12-xvii. 20; xxiv. 26-45; xxvi. 25-54; Mark vi. 13-ix. 45; Luke iii. 12-vi. 44; John ix. 11-xii. 5; xix. 6-24; xx. 23-xxi. 9 (Bengel's August. 3, Scholz).
86. Posoniensis Lycaei Aug. [x], 9-½ × 7-1/8, ff. 280, prol., Eus. t., pict., syn. Once at Buda, but it had been bought in 1183 at Constantinople for the Emperor Alexius II Comnenus (Bengel, Endlicher). It was brought by Rayger, a doctor of medicine, from Italy, where it had been carried, to Pressburg, to his brother-in-law Gleichgross, who was a pastor in that place, amongst whose books it was sold to the library of the Lycaeum in Pressburg. (See Gregory, Proleg. p. 486.)
87. Trevirensis [xii], fol., contains St. John's Gospel with a catena, published at length by Cordier at Antwerp. It once belonged to the eminent philosopher and mathematician, Cardinal Nicolas of Cuza, on the Moselle, near Trèves [1401-64: see Cod. 129 Evan., and Cod. 59 Acts]; previously at the monastery of Petra or of the Fore-runner of Constantinople237 (Scholz). Wetstein's 87 is our 250.
88. Codex of the Gospels, 4to, on vellum, cited as ancient and correct by Joachim Camerarius (who collated it) in his Annotations to the New Testament, 1642. It resembles in text Codd. 63, 72, 80.
89. Gottingensis Cod. Theol. 53 [1006], fol., ff. 172, Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., Eust., lect., with corrections. Collated by A. G. Gehl in 1729 (?), and by Matthaei (No. 20) in 1786-7.
90. (Act. 47, Paul. 14.) Cod. Jac. Fabri, a Dominican of Deventer, now in the library of the church of the Remonstrants at Amsterdam, 186 [xvi, but copied from a manuscript written by Theodore and dated 1293], 4to, chart., 2 vols., κεφ. (Lat.), lect., syn. The Gospels stand John, Luke, Matthew, Mark (see p. 70); the Pauline Epistles precede the Acts; and Jude is written twice, from different copies. This codex (which has belonged to Abr. Hinckelmann of Hamburg, and to Wolff) was collated by Wetstein. Faber [1472—living in 1515] had also compared it with another “very ancient” vellum manuscript of the Gospels presented by Sixtus IV (1471-84) to Jo. Wessel of Groningen, but which was then at Zvolle. As might be expected, this [pg 207] copy much resembles Cod. 74. See Delitzsch, Handschr. Funde, ii. pp. 54-57.
91. Perronianus [x], of which extracts were sent by Montfaucon to Mill, had been Cardinal Perron's [d. 1618], and before him had belonged to “S. Taurini monasterium Ebroicense” (Evreux). Hort suggests, and Gregory favours the suggestion, that this is the same as Evan. 299 (Cod. Par. Reg. 177), which came from Evreux.
92. Faeschii 1 (Act. 49) [xiv or xv]. 94. Faeschii 2 [xvi or xvii]. The former, 10-¼ × 8, ff. 141, κεφ. t., τίτλ., pict., contains St. Mark with Victor's commentary on vellum, and scholia on the Catholic Epistles, with the authors' names, Didymus, Origen, Cyril, &c., and is referred by Gregory to the tenth century; the latter, 8-½ × 5-½, ff. 172 (22), SS. Mark and Luke, with Victor's commentary on St. Mark, that of Titus of Bostra on St. Luke, on paper [xv or xvi, Greg.]. Both belonged to Andrew Faesch, of Basle, and were collated by Wetstein. Dean Burgon found them both at Basle (O. ii. 27 and O. ii. 23).
93. Graevii [1632-1703] of the Gospels, cited by Vossius on the Genealogy, Luke iii, but not known (Cod. 80? Greg.).
95. Oxf. Lincoln Coll. II. Gr. 16 [xii or earlier], 10-½ × 8, ff. 110 (20), is Mill's Wheeler 2238. It contains SS. Luke and John with commentary, mut. Luke i. 1-xi. 2; John vii. 2-17; xx. 31-xxi. 10. With full scholia neatly written in the margin, κεφ., Am. (later), syn., men. (Mill, Professor Nicoll).
96. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 8 (Auct. D. 5. 1) [xv], 5-3/8 × 3-¾, ff. 62 (18), chart., is Walton's and Mill's Trit., with many rare readings, containing St. John with a commentary, beautifully written by Jo. Trithemius, Abbot of Spanheim [d. 1516]. Received from Abraham Scultet by Geo. Hackwell, 1607 (Walton's Polyglott, Mill, Griesbach).
97. Hirsaugiensis [1500, by Nicolas, a monk of Hirschau in Bavaria], 12mo, ff. 71, on vellum, containing St. John, seems but a copy of 96. Collated by Maius, and the collation given in J. D. Michaelis, Orientalische und exegetische Bibliothek, ii. p. 243, &c. (Greg., Bengel239, Maius, Schulz).
98. Oxf. Bodl. E. D. Clarke 5 [xii], 8-½ × 6, ff. 222 (25), pict., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., brought by Clarke from the East. It was collated in a few places for Scholz, who substituted it here for Cod. R (see p. 139) of Griesbach.
99. Lipsiensis, Bibliothec. Paul, [xvi], 8-¼ × 7-1/8, ff. 22 (22, 23), Matthaei's 18, contains Matt. iv. 8-v. 27; vi. 2-xv. 30; Luke i. 1-13; Carp., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., syn. (Matthaei, Greg.). Wetstein's 99 is our 155.
[pg 208]100. Paul. L. B. de Eubeswald [x], 4to, 9-¼ × 7-1/8, ff. 374, κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (syn., men., ἀναγν. later), vellum, mut. John xxi. 25; pict., κεφ. t., Eus. t., and in a later hand many corrections with scholia, chart. J. C. Wagenseil used it in Hungary for John viii. 6. Now in the University of Pesth, but in the fifteenth century belonging to Bp. Jo. Pannonius. Edited at Pesth in 1860 “cum interpretatione Hungaria” by S. Markfi.
101. Uffenbach. 3 [xvi], 12mo, chart., St. John στιχήρης. So near the Basle (that is, we suppose, Erasmus') edition, that Bengel scarcely ever cites it. With two others (Paul. M. and Acts 45) it was lent by Z. C. Uffenbach, Consul of Frankfort-on-the-Main, to Wetstein in 1717, and afterwards to Bengel. (Gregory would omit it.)
102. Bibliothecae Medicae, an unknown manuscript with many rare readings, extracted by Wetstein at Amsterdam for Matt. xxiv-Mark viii. 1, from the margin of a copy of Plantin's N. T. 1591, in the library of J. Le Long. Canon Westcott is convinced that the manuscript from which these readings were derived is none other than Cod. B itself, and Dr. Gregory agrees with him. In St. Matthew's Gospel he finds the two authorities agree seventy times and differ only five times, always in a manner to be easily accounted for: in St. Mark they agree in eighty-four out of the eighty-five citations, the remaining one (ch. ii. 22) being hardly an exception. Westcott, New Test., Smith's “Dictionary of the Bible.” Hort's Cod. 102 is wscr (Evan. 507), to be described hereafter.
103. Regius 196 [xi], fol., once Cardinal Mazarin's, seems the same manuscript as that from which Emericus Bigot gave extracts for Curcellaeus' N. T. 1658 (Scholz). Burgon supposes some mistake here, as he finds Reg. 196 to be a copy of Theophylact's commentary on SS. Matthew and Mark, written over an older manuscript [viii or ix]. Perhaps the same as 14 or 278 (Greg.).
104. Hieronymi Vignerii [x], from which also Bigot extracted readings, which Wetstein obtained through J. Drieberg in 1744, and published. Perhaps 697 (Greg.).
105. (Act. 48, Paul. 24.) Cod. Ebnerianus, Bodl. Misc. Gr. 136, a beautiful copy [xii], 8 × 6-¼, ff. 426 (27), formerly belonging to Jerome Ebner von Eschenbach of Nuremberg. Pict., Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), subscr., στίχ., the Nicene Creed, all in gold: with lect. throughout and syn., men. prefixed by Joasaph, a calligraphist, a.d. 1391, who also added John viii. 3-11 at the end of that Gospel. Facsimile in Horne's Introduction, and in Tregelles' Horne, p. 220 (Schoenleben 1738, Rev. H. O. Coxe, by whom the collation was lent before 1845 to the Rev. R. J. F. Thomas, Vicar of Yeovil [d. 1873], together with one of Canon. Graec. 110 of the Acts and Epistles, both of which are mislaid).
106. Winchelsea [x], with many important readings, often resembling the Harkleian Syriac: not now in the Earl of Winchelsea's Library (Jackson collated it for Wetstein in 1748).
107. Bodl. E. D. Clarke 6 [xiv and later], 8-½ × 6-¾, ff. 351, κεφ. t., pict., [pg 209] κεφ., τίτλ., containing the Gospels in different hands. (Like 98, 111, 112, partially collated for Scholz.) Griesbach's 107 is also 201.
108. Vindobonensis Caesarei, Suppl. Gr. 2, formerly Kollar. 4 [xi], 12-3/8 × 9-¼, ff. 426, 2 vols. With a commentary (Victor's on St. Mark: Burgon, Last Twelve Verses, &c., p. 288), Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., subscr., στίχ. It seems to have been written at Constantinople, and formerly belonged to Parrhasius, then to the convent of St. John de Carbonaria at Naples (Treschow, Alter, Birch, Scholz).
109. Brit. Mus. Addit. 5117 [a.d. 1326], 7-¼ × 5-¾, ff. 225 (24-30), ll. rubr., Carp., prol., κεφ. t., Eus. t., syn., men., lect., Am., τίτλ., subscr., στίχ., Mead. 1, then Askew (5115 is Act. 22, and 5116 is Paul. 75, these two in the same hand; different from that employed in the Gospels).
110240. Brit. Mus. Addit. 19,386 [xiv], 11 × 8, ff. 267 (?), Carp., Eus. t. (faded), κεφ. t., prol., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., syn., with a dial of the year. Four Gospels with commentary by Theophylact. Purchased from Constantine Simonides in 1853. (Greg. 1260.)
111241. Bodl. Clarke 7 [xii], 8-¼ × 6, ff. 181 (31), κεφ. t. (mut. Matt.), [pg 210] κεφ., τίτλ., Am., vers., subscr., στίχ. Mut. John xvi. 27-xvii. 15; xx. 25-end, and
112242. Bodl. Clarke 10 [xi], 5-¼ × 4-¼, ff. 167 (33), Carp., Eus. t., prol., pict., syn., men., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., with commencement and large letters in gold, having both Am. and Eus., in Matt. i-Mark ii, in the same line (a very rare arrangement; see Codd. 192, 198, 212, and Wake 21 below), a very beautiful copy. These two, very partially collated for Scholz, were substituted by him and Tischensdorf for collations whose history is not a little curious.
113. Brit. Mus. Harleian. 1810 [xi], 8 × 7-¼, ff. 270 (26), prol., syn. (later), Carp., Eus. t., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect. (Griesbach, Bloomfield). Apparently this is Bentley's θ “membr. 4to 600 annorum,” collated by him in the margin of Trin. Coll. B. xvii. 5 (see Cod. 51). Its readings are of more than usual interest, as are those of the next.
114. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5540 [x], 5-¼ × 4-¼, ff. 280 (20) (facsimile in a Greek Testament, published in 1837 by Taylor, London), very elegant, with more recent marginal notes and Matt. xxviii. 19-Mark i. 12 in a later hand. Mut. Matt. xvii. 4-18; xxvi. 59-73 (Griesbach, Bloomfield). Carp., τίτλ., κεφ., Am. (not Eus.), κεφ. t. (Luke, John). See Canon Westcott's article, “New Test.,” in Smith's “Dictionary of the Bible.”
115. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5559 [xii], 6-¾ × 5-¾, ff. 271 (19), κεφ., some τίτλ., Am., frequently Eus.243, once Bernard Mould's (Smyrna, 1724), with an unusual text. Mut. Matt. i. 1-viii. 10; Mark v. 23-36; Luke i. 78-ii. 9; vi. 4-15; John xi. 2-xxi. 25 (Griesbach, Bloomfield). A few more words of John xi survive.
116. Brit. Mus. Harl. 5567 [xii], 6-¼ × 5, ff. 300 (23), Syn., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., ἀναγν., στίχ., men., of some value. [pg 211] It belonged in 1649 to Athanasius a Greek monk, then to Bernard Mould (Griesbach, Bloomfield).
117. (Apost. 6.) Brit. Mus. Harl. 5731 [xv], 8 × 6, ff. 202 (28), carelessly written, once belonged to Bentley. Mut. Matt. i. 1-18: pict., prol., Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., lect., Am., syn., fragments of a Lectionary on the last twenty leaves (Griesbach, Bloomfield).
*118. Oxf. Bodl. Misc. Gr. 13 [xiii], 7-¾ × 5-¼, ff. 257, an important palimpsest (with the Gospels uppermost) once the property of Archbishop Marsh of Armagh [d. 1713]. Eus. t., κεφ. t., τίτλ., lect., Am., Eus., στίχ., ῥήμ. (syn., men. later), and some of the Psalms on paper. Later hands also supplied Matt. i. 1-vi. 2; Luke xiii. 35-xiv. 20; xviii. 8-xix. 9; John xvi. 25-xxi. 25. Well collated by (Griesbach).
119. Paris Nat. Gr. 85 [xii], 9 × 6-3/8, ff. 237 (23), formerly Teller's of Rheims, is Kuster's Paris 5 (Griesbach, Gregory), prol., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., subscr., στίχ., pict.
120. Par. Nat. Suppl. Gr. 185 [xiii], 7-½ × 5-3/8, ff. 177, κεφ., τίτλ., Am., formerly belonged to St. Victor's on the Walls, and seems to be Stephen's ιδ᾽, whose text (1550) and Colinaeus' (1534) it closely resembles. St. Mark is wanting (Griesbach).
121. Par. St. Geneviève, A. O. 34 [Sept. 1284, Indiction 12], 7-7/8 × 6, ff. 241, κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., lect., syn., men. Mut. Matt. v. 21-viii. 24 (Griesbach).
122. (Act. 177, Paul. 219.) Lugdunensis-Batavorum Bibl. publ. Gr. 74 A [xii], 7-1/8 × 5-½, ff. 222, Eus. t., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., lect., vers., στίχ., men., once Meerman's244 116. Mut. Acts i. 1-14; xxi. 14-xxii. 28; 1 John iv. 20-Jude 25; Rom. i. 1-vii. 13; 1 Cor. ii. 7-xiv. 23 (J. Dermout, Collectanea Critica in N. T., 1825). Griesbach's 122 is also 97. See Cod. 435.
123. Vindobon. Caesar, Nessel. 240, formerly 30 [xi], 4to, 8-1/8 × 6, ff. 328 (18), brought from Constantinople about 1562 by the Imperial Ambassador to the Porte, Ogier de Busbeck; Carp., Eus. t., prol., κεφ. t., pict., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., subscr., corrections by another hand (Treschow, Alter, Birch).
*124. Vind. Caes. Ness. 188, formerly 31 [xii], 4to, 8-½ × 7-1/8, ff. 180 (25), Carp., Eus. t., harm., κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., syn., men., an eclectic copy, with corrections by the first hand (Mark ii. 14; Luke iii. 1, &c.). This manuscript was written in Calabria, where it belonged to a certain Leo, and was brought to Vienna probably in 1564. It resembles the Harkleian Syriac, Old Latin, Codd. DL. i. 13, and especially 69 (Treschow, Alter, Birch). Collated by Dr. Em. Hoffmann for Professor Ferrar where Alter and Birch disagree. See Cod. 13, for Abbott's recent edition.
125. Vind. Caes. Suppl. G. 50, formerly Kollar. 6 [x], 8-¾ × 6-7/8, ff. 306 (23), κεφ. t., κεφ., τίτλ., Am., Eus., pict. (lect., subscr., στίχ., vers. later), with many corrections in the margin and between the lines (Treschow, Alter, Birch).
[pg 212]126. Guelpherbytanus xvi. 6, Aug.
