Comment	The manuscript has three codicological units. Ioannes is responsible for the first one (f. 1-24; ff. 28-314; ff. 323-408), which was written in 916 in the monastery of Stoudios, as we learn from the colophon (f. 408r): τετέλεσται ἡ παροῦσα \| βίβλος· μηνὶ μαρτίῳ \| καʹ ἰνδ(ικτιῶνος) δʹ ἔτους κόσμου \| ͵ϛυκδʹ γραφεῖσα διὰ χει\|ρὸς Ἰωάννου ταπεινοῦ \| καὶ ἐλαχίστου μοναχοῦ, \| ἐπὶ Ἀνατολίου τοῦ ὁσι\|ωτάτου ἡγουμένου \| τῶν Στουδίου (Sietis 2024: 55).
