IX/2 or X | Parchment, 193 ff., 290 × 210 mm, 1 col., 30 lines per page. |  Majuscule (Alexandrinische Auszeichnungsmajuskel)  Psalms; Majuscule (Small-sized majuscule)  Marginal scholia; Minuscule (Minuscola quadrata)  Catena. | Owners: Esphigmenou Monastery (Athos)  cf. the notes by a later hand on f. 68v and f. 186r, Pierre Séguier († 1672)  Pierre Séguier possessed this manuscript thanks to the Cypriot priest Athanasios. See Missions (1902: 855).
Catena on the Psalms and catena on the Odes with marginal scholia. | The script resembles the bookhand of Stephanos (RGK I 365), who copied in 888 the famous Euclid manuscript (Oxford, Bodleian Library, D’ Orville 301) for Arethas of Ceasarea. These marginal scholia in semi-uncial script bear some similarity to Arethas’ writing style. The catena on the Psalms consist of excerpts from Athanasius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria, Theodoret, and Maximos. The majority of them are attributed to Athanasius. The marginal scholia contain excerpts from Cosmas Indikopleustes, Germanos, Heschychius, John Chrysostom, Jerome the Presbyter, Neilos, Origen, Theodoret and other anonymous authors, cf. Devreesse (1962:163) and Karo-Lietzmann (1902:64). Source of Hexaplaric fragments, cf. Montfaucon (1715:244). | Text-type: L.
