  • Of this manuscript Dr. Land writes as follows, Anecd. Syr., t. i, p. 44. “Praeter pericopas quasdam Evangelicas, Humnos duos ecclesasticos et Psalmos erui integros 45, 46, 47, 82, 90(juxta numerationem Hebraicam), aliorum (44, 49, 50, 56, 57, 78, 91) partes. Hebraicam dico numerationem; nam ipsa fragmenta, mirabile dictum, e versione Septuaginta interpretum in media Palastina Aramaice reddita sunt. Aestate anni 1859 animi causa Londinum redux, datam occasionem missam facere nolui et Paulo clariore solis luce adjutus ea folia denuo inspexi, quae tunc, exceptis, duobus, inveni sub eodem catalogi numero in codicem compacta.”
