CAPVT PRIMVM Chapter One

p. 376, 9 "appearing" CR: "being carried" MP, against p. 376, 30 "but the" C: "if the" MPNR and p. 377, 26 "being" C: "having suffered" NPR. The quaternions that were missing from the third book (the 19th almost entirely, the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 24th) were supplied from a recension very similar to the common one.

Q PARISINVS SVPPLEM. graec. bibliothec. nation. 666 (cf. H. Omont, Inventaire III p. 293) square, paper, of the mid-14th century, 349 folios. The quaternions, of which it consists, 44 in total, are numbered in the middle or end of the lower margin; 42 remain intact, with the 20th and 44th consisting of only seven leaves, the leaf of the last quaternion which ought to have been 349 having been excised. Furthermore, the number 121 repeats twice (121, 121 bis): if all these things had not happened, we would have the number 352 (8 x 44). Individual pages up to fol. 143u contain 25 lines, whereas from fol. 144 the number of verses varies between 30 and 35. The codex is especially difficult to read at the beginning, with the first leaves being fragmentary and lost to humidity. The color of the ink is not always the same: leaves 1–140 and 161u–206 are painted in reddish, leaves 141–161r and 207–347u in black. But if you see a second hand from fol. 207, the same hand also wrote some leaves and pages in the preceding sections.

The third, fourth, and fifth books are present, almost entire, with only the last being torn at the end like D.

The commentary ends on fol. 347u above. The seal of the page below was interpreted as belonging to John Cantacuzenus (the owner—Byzantine emperor?).

On fol. 349u a more recent hand added the following: "Just as in the case of the majority, when the sailor fails he brings harm to his fellow sailors, so also in the cities..." and below, after another seal of uncertain interpretation, "Greatest kings," and a little lower in red, "A (?) | Of Proclus | Of Eleutherius | A gift."

The iota subscript is mostly missing. Rare scholia, both old and recent, were added in the margin, and one hand or the other marked the lemmata of Plato with ' or ''.
I collated them in Paris in 1898, and in Munich in 1901/2.
