In the outer corner of the upper margin of the verso there is the pagination numeral pMH (148). This folio cannot come from a Horologion, since the Ps.

Also, it cannot come from a Psalter since, in view of the format of the MS., the folio numeral 148 would be far too low for Ps. C H I . Paragraph capitals, the letters <j), £ and the com-pendia are touched in with red. Punctuation stop • > , • > • is in red.
