GREEK MANUSCRIPTS, F.CODICES containing the Commentary of Procopius of Gaza on the Octateuch.
In 1772/3 Nicephorus Theotokes published at Leipzig a catena on the Octa
teuch (no. 405) for the text of which he used Atheniensis 43 (no. 184), Lon-
dinensis Archiepisc. Libr. Lambeth Palace 1214 (catenae on Lev. to Ruth),
and Monacensis 358. The last named codex was actually an epitome of a
larger work on the Octateuch and omitted the names of many of the authors
from whom citations were taken. In cases where Nicephorus recognized that
some of these agreed more or less verbally with his other MSS. and were not
identified therein he printed them under the name of Procopius with a single
star added. To other citations he added the name of Procopius with a double
star. Still other passages from the Munich codex he labelled as anonymous.
The Munich codex is entided, 'Apx*. ouv 0£y T/jc dc T/]V Tcveoiv TUV
SKAOYGJV emTouyjc IIpoKomou OO4>IOTOU and in the foreword the author
states that he has previously composed a larger work on the Octateuch in
which he assembled citations from various authors and that now on account
of the great compass of that work he has condensed it into a short and con
nected commentary. Monacensis 358 therefore represents a condensation of a
larger work which was entided, 'EKAoyai. L. Cohn believes that the larger
work was the compilation of Procopius (see no. 19, p. 477). In the epitome,
or commentary, Procopius added citations which were not in the larger
catena, as he himself says in the preface, npooGyjoouev hi TI Kai ££u0ev cic
TpavoT£pav £08' ore napaoTaoiv. On the basis of the Munich codex a Latin
translation was published in Zurich, 1555, by Conrad Clauser (or Claudius
Thrasybulus) and Hartmann Hamberger. In 1834 A. Mai, Class, auct. VI,
1-347, edited the commentary on Gen. 1-183 from Vaticanus 1441 (no. 213)
and two other later MSS. All of the previous Greek editions are combined in
Migne, Patr. gr. LXXXVII, 17-1220. See Rahlfs, no. 33, p. 379, note 4; 377,
