Occasional marginal notes or scholia, a few of them extended. Some titles or brief notes at the tops of pages, and some sections are numbered on the sides.

15r/v  Folio is torn after writing, about three fourths missing.

27r  On the lefthand side of this page, perpendicular to the text, is the name Βυσσαρήων (i.e. Βησσαρίων) in a much later, flowing hand.

31v  On the lefthand margin, perpendicular to the text, a much later hand practices his penmanship while exhorting the reader to holiness in political verse:  « Ἐὰν ποθῇς, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, πολὺν καιρὸν νὰ ζήσῃς, / ἔχε τὸν φόβον τοῦ Θεοῦ — ποτὲ μὴν ἁμαρτήσῃς.»
