Remarks

Fragment was used as lower pastedown. Another fragment from the same manuscript was used as the host volume's upper pastedown; however, this leaf has been removed from the manuscript, with only the offset remaining (F-85pt on Fragmentarium). This leaf was bound in a binding in the 19th century alongside four different leaves from the same psalter (F-vzd3 on Fragmentarium), it is the fifth leaf in this binding.
