Commentary on Psalms by Theodoret of Cyrrhus (CPG 6202). | The manuscript contains the entire Commentary on Psalms by Theodoret, except for the last lines of the commentary on Psalm 150. The title on f. 1r is a false one, attributed to the text by Andreas Darmarios. Darmarios also wrote the doxology on f. 491v. The rest of the commentary is written by Iohannes Malaxos. The paper of the manuscript is the same as of the Ottob. gr. 90, written by Manuel Malaxos, brother and collaborator of Iohannes. Manuel also copied the same text on Vat. gr. 1232 (Ra 1789) for Antonio Carafa. Titles and biblical lemmata are in red ink, the rest of the text is in dark-brown ink. | Text-type: L.
