Comment	De Montfaucon (1715: 306): 'XII. vel XIII. saeculi'. Devreesse (1945: 242) dates the manuscript to the fourteenth century. Meesters - Ricceri (2018: 291): "The scribe of the manuscript is possibly mentioned in v. 15 of Poem 3, a certain Nikandros, wearer of rags. The Kyprianos of v. 16, therefore, would be the patron of the manuscript. As far as we know, both are unknown from other sources."
