Aland did not place its text in any Category.[5] It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[6]
Matthew 1:11
- It reads Ιωσιας δε εγεννησεν τον Ιωακειμ, Ιωακειμ δε εγεννησεν τον Ιεχονιαν instead of Ιωσιας δε εγεννησεν τον Ιεχονιαν. The reading is supported by Codex Campianus, Codex Koridethi, f1, 33, 478, 661, 791, 954, 1216, 1230, 1354, 1604, ℓ 54.[7]
History
Formerly the manuscript was held at the monastery at Athos peninsula. It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676). The manuscript was collated by Dassdorf for C. F. Matthaei.[3] It was bought for the library in Dresden.
It was examined by Tregelles. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1880.[4]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Saxon State Library (A. 123) at Dresden.[2]
