Ra 1434

Mt. Athos, Διονυσίου, 65 (Lambros 3599; Nunc 0063). No diktyon: 20033.
s. XIII - XIV  a. 1312 (ca.), according to Rahlfs | Parchment, 244 ff., 190 × 130 mm, 1 col. |  Minuscule (Archaizing hand of the early Palaiologian period)  ff. 14-201, 203-223. | Scribe: Σἀββας μοναχὸς κόλπου Νικομηδείας κώμης οὐ μικρᾶς Μάνου λιμένος ὃν τοῦ Καλαθᾶ πάντες έπωνομάζουν  f. 244v.
The codex is composed of several parts. The subscription on f. 244v possibly belongs only to the last codicological unit. The Easter tables on f. 242r begin with 1313, but they are based on shaving, so they are probably not original and therefore cannot be used for dating.
