270. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,742 [xiii], 11-½ × 8-¾, ff. 79 (24), 2 cols., mus. rubr. (later), rather old and much mutilated throughout. (Greg. 322.)
271. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,743 [xii ?], 14-½ × 9-½, ff. 213 (18), 2 cols., caps. and mus. rubr. in dull brown ink, somewhat roughly executed, apparently written with a reed pen. Mut. The last leaf is a fragment of Chrysostom, Hom. xlv, on Genesis. (Greg. 323.)
Evst. 265, 269, 271 sometimes agree with each other in departing from the ordinary week-day Church Lessons, and suggest, as Dean Burgon observes, some local fashion which is well worth investigating for textual purposes. The student will have noticed, in our Table of Lessons appended to Chap. III, how often two other codices, Apost. 64, or B.-C. III. 24 and Evst. 253, or B.-C. III. 42, depart from the common use of Church Lesson books, but only for the middle days of the week: not, it would seem, for Saturdays and Sundays.
272. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 22,744 [xiii], 11 × 8-¼, ff. 189 (23), 2 cols., a beautiful copy, mut. at the beginning (to Sat. of third week), the end, and elsewhere, with red musical notes. See Evst. 269. (Greg. 324.)
273. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,374 [xiii], 11-½ × 9, ff. 90 (18), 2 cols., mus. rubr., mut. (Greg. 325.)
274. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,377 [xiv and xii], 12 × 8-¾, ff. 350 (21), 2 cols., mus. rubr., the first and some other leaves being lost; fol. 180, which is later, has palimpsest cursive writing under it. (Greg. 326.)
275. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,378 [xiii], 13 × 8-¾, ff. 270, 2 cols., part of a Menaeum, in a small hand, written in a single column: imperfect and damaged in places. (Greg. 927.)
276. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,379 [xiv], 14-¼ × 11, ff. 178 (28), 2 cols., much mut. throughout, with liturgical headings and some crosses in red for stops. (Greg. 327.)
277. Lond. Brit. Mus. Add. 24,380 [xiv], 11 × 9, ff. 126, 2 cols., mus. rubr., mut. at beginning (to sixth day of seventh week) and end. (Greg. 328.)
Evst. 273-277 were purchased of H. Stanhope Freeman in 1862, as was also Evan. 600.
