    • Remarks
      • It could be argued that the parchment fragment at the end is from the same manuscript as the parchment fragment (F-zuov, 64) joined, but not in sequence, with the corresponding parchment fragment at the beginning of the codex. Both fragments contain parts from Octoechos and have similar scripts, and both are found bound in the same host volume.
      • On the other hand, this fragment has majuscule initials (Η & Φ), while the fragment at the front is in minuscule without initials. Yet both fragments were trimmed to fit the host volume;  for this (back) fragment, the ends of each row has been removed; for the front fragment, the beginnings are missing. Therefore, there is no information about the initials for front fragment.
