  • The portion which concerns us stops abruptly on p. 228 line 7 and is continued by ninth-century hands;
  • Punctuation: the medial comma marks the main and lesser pauses; other points added. Run-overs carried to the line below are set off by a rectangular bracket.
  • Abbreviations include b;, q; = bus, que; au̅ = autem; dr = dicitur; e̅e̅, e̅ = esse, est; = non; ꝑ, ꝓ,  = per, prae, pro; q = quod, quoniam; ꞅɫ, r̅ = rum, runt; ꞇ̄ ꞇ̓ = ter, tur.

  • Chapter-headings in red mixed uncial, capitals and minuscule; others added in the ninth century. Title on p. 3 in hollow capitals filled with dark blue, yellow, or red.
  • Initials mostly in black outline, except in the first quire where they are coloured red, yellow, and a striking dark blue.
