Psalms and Catena.
| Heading of the Psalms: ψαλτήριον τερπνόν εἰς θ(εὸ)ν μέλος (f. 13r). The catena consists of scholia by Theodorete, John Chrysostom, Hesychius, Eusebius of Caesarea, Symmachus, Asterius, Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria, Didymus the Blind and Origen. It starts with a paraphrase of John Chrysostom’s Exegesis on the first Psalm (inc. Πάντων τῶν καλῶν κρηπίς ἡ μακαριότης). The name of each commentator is usually indicated in the margin with different ink. On f. 13r there is an Arabic note. Richard (1956: XV) dates the manuscript to the 12th century, but he dated it to the 11th century in his previous publication. The same author (1954: 102) identified the marginal catena of the type XVII for Psalms 2:3 and 108 and a catena of type VI for Psalm 1. The fragments of Asterius’ homily on the second Psalm can also be found in codex Bucarestensis gr. 931 (11th c.). Parpulov (2014: 216) dates the manuscript to the 14th century.
