Notes

Lampros no. 2091. The ms. is listed in Pinakes but not the menologion.

Contents: Michael Psellus, Vita of St. Auxentius. (Iter Psellianum: [933] ORA.39)

Many of the pages have two sets of pagination.  If there are two sets, the lower one has been favored.  The vita of St. Auxentios begins on page 328.

"βίοι καὶ μαρτυρία ἁγίων Φεβρουαρίου καὶ Μαρτίου κατ΄ ἐκλογήν" in WEST.MTA.3.1

The second part of the Vita of St. Auxentios in WEST.MTA.3.2. Incipit: "νυκτὸς τήν τε θάλασσαν..."

For a better quality microfilm of the vita of St. Auxentios, readers are referred to WEST.MTA.3.3, though this microfilm only covers pp. 328-347, 350-51, 362-385, 390-391, and 398-453 (according to the lower set of pagination). P. 328: Incipit:  "βίος καὶ πολιτεῖα τοῦ ὁσίου πατρὸς ἡμῶν Αὐξεντίου"

Quite a few pages are very darkly photographed and difficult to read in WEST.MTA.3.2
