Comment	Marava-Chatzinicolaou (1997: 204-205): This form of decoration together with the uneven mixed script connect this codex with codices either from South Italy or under South Italian influence. (...) We may conclude that the manuscript was written in a monastery in the district of Arta. (...) We can therefore suppose that the codex was written in a monastery in Epirus or southwest Greece.
