Plate XIV.

1. (41) Cod. Claromontanus or Paul. D (1 Cor. xiii. 5-8), p. [173].

2. (42) Cod. Bezae or Evan, and Act. D (John xxi. 19-28), p. [124]. Observe the stichometry, the breathings, &c., of the Pauline facsimile (which we owe to Dean Burgon's kindness). These codices, so remarkably akin as well in their literary history as in their style of writing and date (vi or v), will easily be deciphered by the student.

3. (43) Cod. Rossanensis or Evan. Σ (p. [163]), is one of the most interesting, as it is amongst the latest of our discoveries. Our passage is Matt. vi. 18, 14: πονηρου οτι | σου εστιν η βα|σιλεια και η δυ|ναμισ και η δο|ξα εισ τουσ αιω|νασ αμην.| Εαν γαρ αφητε | τοισ ανοισ τα | παραπτωματα|. In the margin below the capital Ε is the Ammonian section μδ (44) and the Eusebian canon ς (66): ανοισ is an abbreviation for ἀνθρώποις. All is written in silver on fine purple vellum.

Plate XV.

Cod. Beratinus or Evan. Φ, Matt. xxvi. 19-20: ως συνεταξεν | αυτοις ϊς και ητοιμασαν το | πασχα; | Οψιας δε γενομενης ανε|κειτο μετα των | δωδεκα μαθη|των; και αισθι|. Observe the reference given for the paragraph to the Ammonian section and Eusebian canon on the left: σοθ = 279, δ = 4. The MS. is written in two columns, and the initial letters of each line are exhibited on the right, with Am. and Eus., σπα = 279, and β = 2; which as in the other case are in a different hand.
