This volume is written in a fine, regular Estrangělā of the vith cent., perhaps A. Gr. 862, A.D. 551 (see additions).

[N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.]

- The greater part of the original writing on fol. 31 b has been carefully effaced, and the title and first few lines of Homily of Basil on Deut. xv. 9 have been inserted by a later hand. In fact no less than ten quires are wanting between foll. 31 and 32.

- The Table for finding the days of various festivals on fol. 1 a may have been added by a later hand.

- The hymn, covering the lower part of fol. 1 a, the whole of the verso, and the upper and outer margins of fol. 2 a, was written in a later and inelegant hand.

6th century, perhaps AD 551 ca. AG 862
