Content Description
The inner side (recto) of the parchment leaf, which is clear enough to read, provides fragmentary text from the Homily de Legislatore (PG 56, cols. 400.50-401.38), with some small text variations.
The outer side (verso) of the parchment leaf, which -owing to wear- is partially legible, provides also part from the aforementioned Homily in textual sequence [PG 56, cols. 401.38-402.15 (?)].
Thus, the text starts from the inner side, from the first to the second column, exactly in sequence but with some variations. Then, it continues from the outer first column to the outer second one. At the end of the column, the text is abruptly interrupted.
The Homily de Legislatore is included in works of St. John Chrysostom (PG 56), now attributed to Severianus Gabalensis (CPG 4192).

Remarks
- The text of the inner side of the parchment leaf was initially transcribed (diplomatically) by C. P. Kyrris in his catalogue of the manuscript collection of the monastery of Kykkos (Nicosia 1973-1975), but without identifying it.
- The inner side is transcribed (philologically and diplomatically) as well by C. N. Constantinides in his paper (Ἡ Στάχωση τοῦ Κώδικα 9 ..., 1990), without identification of the text.
- The philological transcription of the latter one by Constantinides is also included in the catalogue by A. Jacovlević.
- The outer side of the leaf was not previously readable, thus no identified.
History
The origin of the codex which this leaf was extracted from is unknown and the tenth century manuscript is still missing
