226-233 are in the Escorial.

431. This manuscript is sometimes stated to have perished at Strassburg,
in the war of 1870, like 180^{Acts.} This, however, is incorrect.

604. Written in the twelfth century, now in the British Museum, exhibits
2724 variations from the Textus Receptus, and has besides 270 readings
peculiar to itself. It is the only witness we know that supports that
peculiar form of the second petition of the Lord’s Prayer found in
Marcion in the second century, and in Gregory of Nyssa in the fourth,
ἐλθέτω τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμά σου ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ καθαρισάτω ἡμᾶς (Luke xi.
2).[77]
743 has the double conclusion in Mark.
