Provenance TypeInscription
NoteOn the bottom margin of e6v, in dark ink, now partly faded: 'De sera. D. Gregorius Papiensis me utitur'. ('Dominus Gregorius Papiensis'). The same hand seems responsible for a series of corrections both to the Greek and Latin texts; see for instance a8r, where the Greek word 'moi' is erased and corrected to 'toi', and the corresponding latin word 'mihi' is erased and corrected to 'tibi'. Another interlinear correction is found on g2v where the Latin word 'civitatem' is corrected to 'civitatum' in agreement with the Greek 'pólemon'.
