    verso 17: | 2ANAKEC pOxe (1) BJOX’ EBAA 18 o]Am’ 2aq-}+ TATA [NTACTO]AH The text on the smaller side of the double leaf (not identified) is: recto(?) macof verso(?) €BJAA MAMOY oyl jno Kx 2. Psalms. (Coptic.) A complete leaf of fine parchment, 14 & 11°5 cm., shows Psalms LI g to LIII title, in one column of 1g lines. The hand is rather heavy, resembling in type that of Cod. Bezae (6th cent.). The few variants from Bupcr’s text are unimportant, except for Kaece (LIT 5), in place of keec: a strange plural, unparalleled in other dialects(2). The title of Ps. LIII agrees with the MSS. of LAGARDE and WESSELY, as against those of Bunce and WorRELL. 3. Isaiah. (Coptic.) The last fragment from the Old Testament is a small leaf whereon verses from the beginning of /saiah LXVI are legible. The hand is of the rounded, “‘Coptic’’ type. | 4. St. John. (Coptic.) The New Testament claims the most extensive of all the fragments: 11.more or less complete leaves, each 14X12 cm., paged [€] to is and ar, AA. They show John I 20.to Ill 2, IV 39 to 47, written in two columns of 19g—21 lines each. The hand is an uneven uncial, with a mixture of square and rounda- ed forms (in A,A,m,y) and probably of the 6th century, v. PL. I. The following are the variants from Horner’s text: — I 26 (1) The semi-Achm. lias Apoc. p. 128 writes pwxe2, while Deut. VII 25 (BupGE), Sir. XXVIII 23 show poxoy, as do Achm., texts often. (2) The MS. reads x6€pE NKAECE *[ BOA. Elsewhere the punctuation is normal, so that KAEC €*BOA would be improbable.
