B.-C. II. 7 [xii or xiii], 5 × 3, ff. 172 (26-31), a very curious volume in ancient binding with two metal plates on the covers much resembling that of B-C. I. 7, contains the Four Gospels and the Acts, breaking off at ch. xxvi. 24 μαίνῃ παῦλε; the writing being unusually full of abbreviations, and the margin gradually contracting, as if vellum was becoming scarce. The last five pages are in another, though contemporary hand. Seven pages containing Gregory Nazianzen’s heroic verses on the Lord’s genealogy, and others on His miracles and parables, partly in red, precede κεφ. _t._ to St. Matthew; other such verses of Gregory precede SS. Mark and Luke, and follow St. John, and κεφ. _t._ stand before SS. Luke and John. There are τίτλ., κεφ. (no _lect._; and _Am._, _Eus._, only in the open leaf containing Luke xii): in the Gospels there is a _prol._, and no chapter divisions in the Acts, but a few capitals in red. Pretty illuminations precede each book. (Greg. 536.) *550. B.-C. II. 13 [xii], 7 × 5, ff. 143 (29), with poor arabesque ornamentation, complete. _lect._, a few τίτλ. by a later hand, as is also much of _Am._, _Eus._, which are only partially inserted.

B.-C. II. 18 [xii], 6 × 4-3/8, ff. ?, very neat. The first leaf forms part of a Lectionary: on the second the Gospels begin with Matt. xiii. 7. _Mut._ John i. 1-15. Κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., κεφ., _Am._ (not _Eus._), _men._ at the end, _lect._ in abundance, _pict._ of St. Mark washed out: arabesques at the head of each book. (Greg. 538.) *553 & *554. B.-C. II. 261 and 262 are two fragments of the Gospels, whereof 261 comprises 27 leaves of St. Mark (19-21), covered with vile modern scribbling (ch. iii. 21-iv. 13; 37-vii. 29; viii. 15-27; ix. 9-x. 5; 29-xii. 32) [xiii], 7-½ × 5-½, neat, with τίτλ., _Am._, _Eus._, _lect._; and 262 consists of 48 leaves [xiv], 8-½ × 5-½, containing Matt. xviii. 32-xxiv. 10; xxvi. 28-xxviii. 20; Mark i. 16-xiii. 9; xiv. 9-27, with κεφ. _t._, τίτλ., _Am._ (_Eus._ only partially), _lect._ There are many abridgements in the writing.
