Comment Papadopoulos-Kerameus (1915: 403): 'Ἐν τῷ φ. 1α κόσμημα χρωματιστὸν μέγα σχήματος πιοειδοῦς, ἐν ἄλλοις δέ τισι φύλλοις κοσμημάτια ταινιοειδῆ καὶ χρωματιστά· τὰ δὲ ἀρκτικὰ κεφαλαιώδη στοιχεῖα πανταχοῦ ἔγκοσμα, χρώματος ἐρυθροῦ'.

We cite here a part of the elaborate colophon which begins at f. 324v. This colophon gives us further information concerning the origin of the ms.; Papadopoulos-Kerameus: (1915: 403-404): '--+ Ἐγράφη, εἰς τὰ Ἱεροσόλυμα, ἐντὸς τοῦ κελίου τοῦ δεσπότου μου, τοῦ ἁγίου τοῦ πατριάρχου: + ---- +'. The patriarch which is mentioned is Dorotheos, whose name appears earlier in this colophon.
