pp. 608-9 are difficult to read.

p. 630 incipit: "ἀπολοφύρεσθαι ἀνθ’ οἵων οἷα ἠλλάξατο."

Desinit on p. 651: "αισχύντοις πρεσβείαις καὶ ποιμαίνειν καὶ ποιμαίνεσθαι κατὰ μίμησιν ἀξιωθείημεν."

p. 652 incipit:" τὰ Ἀμφιλόχια, ἢ λόγων ἱερῶν καὶ ζητημάτων ἱερολογίαι"

Lampros' catalogue and in Pinakes both say the text begins on 753, while the ms. page no. is 653.  Apparently, there is a note in the ms. itself by Papadopoulos-Kerameus explaining that there is a gap of 100 pages.

After p. 1054: notes on pagination in the MS by Prof. Papadopoulos-Kerameus
