i68 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PHILO
GREEK MANUSCRIPTS, H.
CODICES containing a Catena on Proverbs in which Philo is cited.
Of the numerous codices described by Karo and Lietzmann, no. 26, pp. 300-
312, the following (nos. 229 to 234) are the only codices which appear with
some certainty to contain Philonean extracts. Since the authors cited in this
catena are frequently not named it is impossible to determine from general
descriptions which contain Philonean extracts and which do not. It is quite
probable that the Philonean extracts are to be found in other codices contain
ing the catena on Proverbs.^10 A list of these codices is given by Rahlfs, no. 33,
pp. 415-420.

centuries; on what would be page 273 begins folio number 137 which
numbering continues up to 148. Karo-Lietzmann suggest that this
codex is the exemplar of no. 229.

codex copied on the margins by David Hoeschel; also extracts made
by David Hoeschel from another codex (fols. 137-148).
