Commentary on the Psalms by Theodoret of Cyrrhus (CPG 6202).
| The codex is mutilated at the beginning and end. As can be seen from the original quire numbering, four quires are missing from the beginning and at least three at the end. Assuming that the lost quires all were regular quaternions (as the extant 35 quires ε’–λθ’ are), the manuscript must have had some prolegomena before Theodoret’s Commentary on the Psalms, as the missing beginning of it would only cover about 4 more quaternions. The partition into two volumes is probably from rebinding in the 18th century.
