Parisiensia p. 842, 30 sqq.) marked with the numbers α'—μθ' 1–49. To these numbers belongs a note by a more recent hand on f. 374^v^ in the upper margin (specifically, to Arist. p. 262^a^ 19): "The scholia written after the end of the text are to be fitted in from here, just as the order of the numbers requires for each of the passages here, such as the first with the first, the second with the second, and those following with those following, up to the end of both the text and the scholia." But Diels will speak more fully about these scholia in the second volume of Simplicius' Physics. Finally, from f. 382^r^ sqq., the manuscript contains Simplicius’ commentaries on books VII–VIII up to f. 431^r^, where the Simplician text fails at the words "the beginning of the other (sic) motion" (f. 292^r^ 40 Aldine). With these words, a new verse begins, and in the same verse follow "Of Philoponus on the remainder, etc.," namely, the Philoponean excerpts on Arist. Θ 6 p. 259^a^ 13—8 p. 262^a^ 2, which I edited in their proper place from this very codex after the Parisian scholia. To these scholia, in turn, belong the small notes of a novice scribe on f. 372^r^ (Arist. p. 259^a^ 13): "Up to here are the contents from the exegesis of Simplicius," and on f. 374^r^ (Arist. 261^b^ 31): "Up to here are those of Philoponus."

The codex was written by a certain Georgius (Diels on p. VII changed the name to Gregorius due to a slip of the pen), who often made mention of himself by adding prayers, mostly in the upper margin, such as: "Most holy Lady, Mother of God original: θεοτόκε, help me, the wretched one" (or "me, your servant Georgius") "through the intercessions of the great King," etc. It seems that Georgius himself wrote the scholia in the margins of books I–VI, except for a few things regarding books V–VI, which are owed to the more recent scribe who copied the scholia into the later books. I had thought that Georgius had only excerpted Philoponus, but that the more recent scribe had added the Simplician material; however, I later saw that Simplician material was present in the earlier scholia as well. Therefore, I considered it useless to distinguish the hands. I neglected the excerpts from Simplicius, as was appropriate, but because the actual words of the interpreter were not always repeated, I perhaps kept some things that would have been better discarded. I compared Simplicius and the fragment of Philoponus "on the remainder" nearly ten years ago, and I transcribed the remaining scholia at the beginning of the spring of 1887. From these, I shall transcribe a few that pertain to the earlier books:

Arist. A 2 p. 184^b^ 15: "If anyone should ask why we divided the one (sic) principle into the moving and the unmoved, etc." and "infinite." Philopon. p. 21, 14—21.

2 p. 185^a^ 7: "Heraclitus said that the good and the bad return to the same things, like a bow and a lyre, which the philosopher also posited (sic). He was indicating the harmonious mixture in the generation of opposites, as Plato also mentioned, saying 'The Ionic and some Sicilian Muses later understood that it is safest to interweave both.'" original: "ἰάδες λέγων καὶ σικελικαί τινες ὕστερον μοῦσαι ξυνενόησαν ὅτι συμπλέκειν ἀσφαλέστατον ἄμφω". Simplic. p. 50, 10 sqq.

Δ 14 p. 223^b^ 16: "How they measure in return — motion." From Philop. p. 782, 28—783, 5, with the omission of the words "and of time" p. 783, 2.

ib. 19: "He says it is for two reasons — and the known thing, especially of this." Philopon. p. 783, 13—19 (15: "more known," 16: "least of all and most known," 17: "day-night").

ib. 26: "For this reason — it is considered." Philopon. p. 784, 7—14 (7: "that" instead of "because," 10. 11: "time is a kind of circle — but time" [omitted]).
