    Physical Description

    Vellum leaves, some of which are slightly stained and torn. This palimpsest portion (see

  • Add. 17,198, foll. 1-6 and 23-32, upper text
    • ) originally formed part of a manuscript written in three columns.

    Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): These leaves are written in a fine Estrangělā of the vith cent..
    Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Greek script): Foll. 24b and 29a contain slanting Greek uncials of later date.

    Contents

    This manuscript contains 2 item(s). N.B. Items were re-numbered for this online catalog and may not reflect William Wright's previous numeration.

    Item 1 (Fol. 1): Acts of one of the Councils of Ephesus [defective]
     
    Title:     ܣܘܢܗܕܝܣ ܕܒܐܦܣܘܣ
    Note: The older text is now most distinctly legible on foll. 27 and 28. Judging by the running title, which is still visible on foll. 30 a and 25 b, at the foot of the page, this manuscript contained, among other things, the Acts of one of the Councils of Ephesus.
    Item 2 (Fol. 24b): Epiphanius. Anakephalaeosis of Epiphanius [defective]
    Note: The older text also comprised the Anakephalaeosis of Epiphanius; at least there is written on foll. 24 b and 29 a, in slanting Greek uncials of later date, the same list of heretical sects that we find appended to that work in Add. 12,156, fol. 137 a.
