The tenth quire a gathering of five sheets/ten leaves perished, from page 237, line 2 (in no way will he demonstrate) up to page 263, line 4 (this however).

The whole manuscript ends within the same book at page 210 E (and at the same time appropriate to bodies).

I saw this in Rome at the royal library in 1900, to which place Eugenius Boselli had kindly sent the codex through the mediation of the royal ministry.

MARCIANUS Manuscript from the Marciana Library Greek 194 (cf. Zanetti p. 109) of the octavo format (23.3 × 16), paper, of the 15th century (?), almost eaten away by bookworms. The leaves are not numbered.
