  10. Venice, San Lazzaro. "A codex of the Mechitarist library in Venice,
    written, as the colophon proves, by Vartan, a disciple of John Erzu-
    katzi, during the latter's life time. This teacher was born about A.D.
    1250, and died about 1326. Therefore this codex must belong at least
    to the beginning of the fourteenth century. It is written in a good cur­
    sive hand, on paper. This description only applies to the first half of
    the volume, which however contains the D.U.C. [Cont.] with certain
    other treatises. The rest of the codex is by a later and unknown hand."
    See Conybeare, no. 20, p. 155.
