Notes/Discussion: | Some ink traces above the first line, may be palimpsest but this seems strange on paper (perhaps the ink is from from previous page (ÁM)) The text does not, however, seem to be reversed (EL). Reused as amulet? For content, compare Macomber, William F. “The Anaphora of Saint Mark According to the Kacmarcik Codex.” OCP 45 (1979): 80 and Brightman, F. E. Eastern Liturgies Being the Texts Original or Translated of the Principal Liturgies of the Church. Oxford: Clarendon, 1886, 166. |
