| Comment | The first verse is prosodically incorrect. Furthermore, the manuscript reads σταυροχριστιανοφύλαξ as one word, based on accentuation. Rhoby (2018: 324) assumes that the scribe wrongly copied his model: 'Es ist nicht unwahrscheinlich, dass in seiner Vorlage noch ein dritter Vers, in dem σταυροχριστιανο vorkam, vorhanden war. Das ausgelassene Ende von Vers 1 könnte z.B. ταύτην <ἁγίαν βίβλον> gelautet haben'. |
