(Migne, 1. c. 467.)
Ends imperfectly f.136b - τὸν περιεστω̑τα ὄχλον. (Migne, 505 A § xxxi.)
Two fly-leaves of a rather smaller size follow of a Menaeum of cent. xi, xii, well written. The first Memoria is of St Alexius on the 17th of July, the last of St Nicon and 200 disciples on the 23rd.
On the verso of the first of the two leaves is a partly obliterated Latin rubric in a Lombardic minuscule of cent. xi?
Feria III Introitus.
Both leaves are in fact palimpsest as I think, but a few traces of these rubrics is all that I can see of the older writing, which must have been a Latin Missal of the tenth or eleventh century.
