The Manuscripts. XV

10. — Ms. Add. 7202 of the British Museum¹, fragment dated to the year 1586 of our era.
11. — Ms. Add. 2010 of The Library of the University of Cambridge (C)², dated to the year 2061 of the Greeks, 1749/50 of our era.
12. — Ms. Add. 2011 of the same library (Ca)³, written after 1736 of our era.
13. — Ms. Add. 2076, fragment dating from the 16th or 17th century⁴.
14. — Ms. Hunt. 1, at the Bodleian Library in Oxford (H, in MARTIN: O, 1)⁵, finished in 1491.
15. — Ms. Poc. 298 of the same library (O, in MARTIN: O, 2)⁶, dated to Tešrī I October 1884 of the Greeks, October 1572 of our era.
16. — Ms. Sachau 308, Preußische Staatsbibliothek in Berlin (S)⁷, dated the 12th of Nīsān April 1906 of the Greeks, April 12, 1595 of our era. This ms. is copied from T (see no. 6 above).
17. — Ms. Petermann II, Nachtrag Addendum 23, at the same library (B)⁸, 18th-century copy, according to the catalogue. The original text has fairly large lacunae corresponding to the missing folios in ms. D, of which B is a direct copy. As these lacunae in two cases are of lesser extent than those filled by the second-hand folios of D (see p. xi above), it is therefore probable that B reproduces some parts—folio 8 and the final folio—of the original text of this ms. The lacunae found in B are in turn filled by second-hand folios; see B. d. Str., p. xxi.
18. — Ms. Sachau 307, at the same library (Sa)⁹, ms.
