EUTROPIUS and Paulus Diaconus, &c., viz.:
1. ' Incipit liber primus (-decimus) Romane historie'; with colophon, 'Explicit liber x. huc usque historiam, Eutropius composuit, cui tamen aliqua Paulus dinconus addidit'. The text is of the type usual in Paulus MSS. (see next art.). f. 2.
2. 'Incipit liber vndecimus' (-xvi): the continuation by Paulus to the time of Justinian. The text is of the class H V B of Droysen (Mon. Germ. Hist., Auctt. Antiquissimi, ii), having a lacuna in lib. xv, cap. 6. Colophon, 'Explicit liber xvi'. f. 52b. In the middle of this article is the misplaced fly-leaf, f. 62, see below.
3. 'Imperatores Rome uel Constantinopolim regnantes': a table from Augustus to Justin (d. 527), giving the length of reign and usually the place and cause of death. It occurs in other MSS. of Paulus, e.g. 15 C. VI, Harley MS. 654. Beg. 'Augustus regnauit annos quinquaginta. vi., uixit annos lxxvii, obiit morte communi'- ends 'morbo periit'. f. 77 b.
4. ' Incipit historia persecutionis Affricang prouinciip temporum Geiserici et Huncrici regis Wandalorum, scribente sancto Victore episcopo patrie Vitensi'; by Victor, Bishop of Vita in Africa circ. 484-487. A text of the BVL class of Halm (Mon. Germ. Hist., Auctt. Antiquissimi, iii, pt. i, cf. Petschenig, Corp. Script. Eccl. Lat. vii). Beg. 'Quondam ueterum (sic) sapientie enucleare'. The division into books is confused, the Liber Fidei Catholicae having the heading (f. 96b), 'Explicit liber ii. Incipit liber iii. fidei catholice', but at the end 'Explicit liber secundus, incipit liber iii'. Recent editors follow the latter arrangement, making the Liber Fidei Catholicae an appendix to lib. ii, and the MS. supports them in not dividing libb. iv, v of the old editions. f. 79 b.
5. 'Incipit passio beatorum martyrum qui aput Carta- [ginem passi] sunt sub imperio rege (sic) Hunirici die [sexto nonas Iu]lii': the Passio septem monachorum printed in the editions (e.g. C. S. E. L. vii, p. 108), but ascribed by Petschenig to a later author. Imperfect by the loss of half the first two leaves and the whole of a third. Beg. 'Predicaturus triumphos martyrum beatorum'. f. 117.
6. The fly-leaves contain, in the same hand as art. 5, lections for SS. Benedict and Scholastica. Imperfect at beginning. Lections iii (of which only the words 'restaurans ede renata' remain) and iiii (beg. 'Quis modus aut numerus uel certe calculus index') are in verse; lections vvii and part of viii are from Gregory the Great, Dialogi, lib. ii (Migne, Patr. Lat. lxvi. 194- 196). Ends 'gloria et honore coronatus. qui cum patre', &c. ff. 1, 62 (misplaced, see above).
Vellum; ff. 118. 10 in. x 53/4 in. XII cent. Gatherings of 10 leaves. Sec. fol. 'Qui Ascanius'. Good initial of interlaced zoomorphic work in red, black, and yellow ; other initials in red. Edges injured by damp. Old Royal press-mark of a seal (a ship); not in cat. of 1666; CMA. 8630.
