15:13—16:16. 17:21—18:10. 18:22—20:20. 20:33—47. 21:12—22:6. 22:8—14. 22:42—56. 22:71—23:11. 23:38—50. These citations refer to the Gospel of Luke discussed on the previous page. They should be assigned to the fifth or sixth century.

(II.) In the second place, positioned on pages 93—176, are the REMAINS RESCUED FROM THE FIRE OF THE VERY FAMOUS COTTON CODEX. The Codex Cottonianus is a 4th- or 5th-century Greek manuscript of Genesis. It was nearly destroyed in a fire at Ashburnham House in 1731. These passages survive: Genesis 1:14, 16—19, 26—28; 3:1—5; 4:1, 2, 4—5, 18, 25—26; 5:1—3, 6—8, 9—10, 18—24; 6:11—15; 7:1—5, 11—16; 8:1—6, 8—9; 9:15—23; 11:4—7, 12—13, 15—17, 29—32; 12:1—8, 10, 11; 13:12—18; 14:1—3, 17—20, 22—24; 15:13—16:5; 16:16—17:10; 18:3—13, 24—30, 32, 33; 19:1—4, 12—26, 30—33, [36,] 37, 38; 20:1—4; 21:4—19 (on 17 and 19, see also page 174), 23—26; 22:2—18, 22—23:10, 13—15, 17—20; 24:1—7 (on 21 and 22, see page 174), 32—39, 52—67; 25:1—9, 11—13, 20, 21, 27—26:9, 18—20; 27:25—34, 37, 38; 28:4—6, 8—14, 16—22; 29:18—20, 25—29; 30:16—18 (on 19 and 20, see page 174); 31:26—35; 32:16—21; 33:13—15, 17 (on 19 and 20, see page 174); 34:4—11, 14—23 (on 26, 28, 29, see page 174), 30—35:14 (on 14 and 15, see page 174); 36:2—30; 37:14—30 (on 3—7, see page 174); 38:6—12, 20—21, 26—30; 39:1—40:15, 21—41:41, 46—49, 56, 57; 42:1—23, 35, 36—43:4, 6—10, 31—33; 44:5—10, 12—16, 31—45:1, 5—9, 17—21; 47:4—7; 48:15—17; 49:1, 9, 13—18, 24—27. These fragments seem to have been written in the fifth century.

(III.) In the third place, on pages 177—308, follows the GENESIS CODEX OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY RECENTLY (by Tischendorf) BROUGHT FROM THE EAST. It contains Genesis 1:1—14:6 (page 216); 18:24—20:14 (page 224); 24:54—42:18. It seems to have been written in the eighth century, specifically at its end.

(IV.) In the fourth place, on pages 311—312, are read the PALIMPSEST FRAGMENTS OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN: 13:16—17, 19—20, 23—24, 26—27; 16:7—8, 12—13, 15—16, 18—19. They belong to the British Museum, written in the fifth or fourth century.

(V.) In the fifth place, on pages 313—314, are read the PALIMPSEST FRAGMENTS OF THE PROPHET EZEKIEL: 4:16—5:1, 2—4. They belong to the British Museum, written around the seventh century.

(VI.) In the sixth place, on pages 315—316, are given the PALIMPSEST FRAGMENTS OF THE THIRD BOOK OF KINGS: In the Latin Vulgate and Greek Septuagint, the "Third Book of Kings" corresponds to what is now known in English Bibles as 1 Kings. 8:58—9:1. These also belong to the British Museum and seem to have been written in the fifth century.

(VII.) In the seventh place, on pages 319—320, TISCHENDORF’S PSALM FRAGMENTS have been transcribed: 131(132):7—8, 132(133):1—3, 134(135):7—13. The dual numbering reflects the difference between the Greek/Latin and Hebrew verse numbering. They are from the fifth or fourth century.

(VIII.) In the eighth place, on page 321, is held TISCHENDORF’S FRAGMENT OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS: 24:9—10, 41—43. It is a part of the same book as the Codex Friderico-Augustanus, dating to around the fourth century.

(IX.) In the ninth place, on the same page, are added TWO TISCHENDORF FRAGMENTS OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW: 12:17—19, 23—25. They are remains of the same codex from roughly the seventh century, of which some leaves were published under the name Codex Tischendorfianus I.
