Reconstruction Summary

A 10th-century parchment leaf was used in the binding of a 16th or 17th-century paper codex containing Nikephoros Blemmydes᾿ Logic.

The leaf, written in bouletée script, provides fragmentary text from the Homilia de Legislatore by Severianus Gabalensis, PG 56, cols. 400.50-401.38 (inner surface, recto side) and 401.38-402.15 (outer surface, verso side), with some small text variations.

The current fragment may be the oldest surviving script in the collection of Kykkos, dating to almost a century before the foundation of the monastery itself
