Comment	The date, provided in the colophon as ἔτει ἀπὸ θεογονίας ͵αυπηʹ ποιανεψιῶνος [..]δεκάτη ἱσταμένου, is interpreted as 11 October by Dieter Harlfinger (see Bibliography). According to an alternative reconstruction, no less widespread in the Renaissance, this wording could also refer to 11 July.
