In Greek throughout, by three different hands. Contents:
1. ff. 1-18. Aphorismii (incomplete): Written in a neat script, 40 lines to a page; initials and headings in red. Fol. 1 (red) Aoptio innokpárows "O betaiós beta p.. 18v, line 2 ... "Etauí (red).
2. ff. 18-21. Prognostica (abridged): In a closer script, 40-42 lines to a page. Fol. 18v, line 4 . 21v.
3. ff. 22-107. Stephanus Atheniensis. Scholia in Prognostica: Here wrongly ascribed to Damascius. Fol.22 (red). 107v. In a difficult semi-current script with many contractions, initials and headings in red, 20 lines to a page. T.C. Skeat of the British Museum states that this MS. (No. 3) 'is in the hand of that industrious but exceedingly untrustworthy and mendacious scribe Andreas Darmarios. Although the marginal note (see below) states that his exemplar was defective, at the place where the text breaks off unfinished, it may reasonably be suspected in view of Darmarios' character that this was merely an excuse for the incompleteness of his own work'.
The water-mark of this work appers to be Briqauet No. 5682, Syracuse 1582.
Dated late 15th Century and c.1585.
