Contents
Fragments of unidentified theological work, in uncial probably dating from the 9th century; the text contains the rare words δικαιοποιεῖ and ἡμεροποιεῖ. In the margins of these two leaves a late hand, perhaps 13th century, has written various notes, some of which may come from a gnomology, as there are incorrect or dubious attributions to Hesiod, Theognis and Theophrastus.
