Lectionary 6 Explained

Lectionary 6, designated by siglum ℓ 6 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering). It is a Greek-Arabic diglot manuscript of the New Testament, on paper leaves, dated by a colophon to the year 1265.^[1]

Description

The codex contains Lessons from the Acts, Epistles lectionary (Apostolos), Psalms, but a few Lessons from the Gospels (Evangelistarium).^[2] It is written in Greek uncial letters, on 275 paper leaves, 2 columns per page, 18 lines per page.^[1]

In Matthew 23:35 phrase υιου βαραχιου (son of Barachi'ah) is omitted; this omission is supported only by Codex Sinaiticus, codex 59 (by the first hand), two other Evangelistaria (ℓ 13, and ℓ 185), and citations in Eusebius.^[3]
