Scholia were made probably in the thirteenth century to assist Armenian
students of Philo. They throw some light on the history of Armenian scholar­
ship in that period, but appear to have little textual value. They are found in
the following codices:


  1. Edschmiatzin 1672, XII. century.

  2. Edschmiatzin 1897, XIL-XIIL centuries.

  3. Edschmiatzin 437, XIIL century.
