Add. 12,142
Add. 12,142, foll. 1–73
Physical Description
Vellum, about 12 in. by 9, consisting of 73 leaves, one of which, fol. 66, is much mutilated. The quires, eight in number, are signed with arithmetical figures (e.g. fol. 9, ;fol. 19,), to which the letters of the alphabet are sometimes added (e.g. fol. 39, ܗ; fol. 49, ܘ). A later hand has numbered not only the quires, but also the leaves, with the letters of the alphabet, sometimes in-correctly. Leaves are wanting after foll. 59 and 65. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 18 to 22 lines. The character is a large, elegant Estrangela of the, vith or viith cent., with Greek vowels occasionally added by a later hand (ܰ, ܰ, ܰ, ܰ, , ).

Physical Description
Vellum, about 12 in. by 8 7/8, consisting of 33 leaves (Add. 12,142, foll. 74—107), the last of which is much soiled and torn. The quires are numbered with both letters and arithmetical figures (e. g., foll. 81, ܝܓ; 93, ܝܗ); the later numeration with letters is in part erroneous. Twelve quires and some leaves are wanting at the beginning, and at least several leaves at the end. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 23 to 27 lines. The writing is a fine, regular Estrangela of the vith cent.

- Slightly imperfect at the commencement.
- See Add. 12,174, fol. 175 a.
- These acts agree substantially with the narrative in the Acta Sanctorum for September, tom, vii., pp. 217—219 and 244—246.
- The father of Justa is here called ܐܕܣܝܐ, in Add. 12,174, ܐܘܕܘܣܝܐ; whilst his mother is named in the latter manuscript, ܩܠܘܕܘܢܝܐ, and the deacon whom she heard preaching, ܐܦܪܠܝܐ. The name of Agladius is not mentioned here ; in 12,174 he is called ܐܘܓܠܝܕܘܢ. The priest who receives Cyprian into the church is called in this manuscript ܐܘܬܡܝܐ; in 12,174, ܐܢܬܝܡܐ. The Comes Orientis who persecutes Cyprian and Justa is named in 12,142, ܐܘܛܠܡܐܘܣ; in 12,174, ܐܘܛܘܠܡܘܣ. Instead of Φουλεανὸς δὲ ὁ συγκάθεδρος, both manuscripts have ܒܘܠܒܘܣ ܕܝܢ ܣܘܢܩܬܕܪܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ. Lastly, the name of the Roman matron, who received the bodies of the martyrs from the sailors, is ܪܘܦܝܢܐ, of the family of ܩܠܘܕܝܢܐ (12,142) or ܩܠܘܕܝܢܝܘܣ (12,174).
- The date of the martyrdom is the 15th of Ḥazῑrān, ܒܚܡܫܥܣܪ̈ܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܚܙܝܪܢ; but in 12,174 the words ܝܘܢܝܘܣ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ are inserted after ܕܡܬܩܪܐ.

Add. 12,142, foll. 108–242
Physical Description
Vellum, about 12 ¼ in. by 9, consistingof 135 leaves (Add. 12,142, foll. 108—242), some of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 110, 230, and 237—242. The quires have been twice numbered with arithmetical figures, once by the scribe, and again by an early corrector (see fol. 212a).A third numeration, with letters, is of late date and incorrect. Leaves are wanting both at thebeginning and end;and there are lacunae after foll. 113, 114, 120, 171, and 241. Each page is divided into 3 columns, of from 37 to 43 lines. This manuscript is written in a small, elegant, Edessene character, probably of thebeginning of the vith cent.
