| Comment | Martini-Bassi (1906: 283): 'inter multa conscriblillata et saepius iterata variis mm.'. Repeated by a later hand (XV/XVI sec.) on f 382v: '+ θησαυρὸν ἀσύλ(η)τον ᾶν ευρὴν θέλης· ἀληθηνῆς γε γνώσεως | ψυχοτρόφου· κ(αὶ) διᾶφανεῖς κ(αὶ) τιμαλφεῖς ληχνητὰς· | ἐπίβελ(ως) ἔπελθε τ(ὴν)δε πικτήδα'. Cavallo (2006: 136) gives a partial translation, starting with a paraphrase: "le livre du grand Théologien cache "un trésor intact de vraie connaissance, nourriture de l'âme, de pures pierres précieuses"." |
