As mentioned above and as can also be seen from this index, only M and F come into consideration for textual criticism. For only they were copied from P before the five quaternions with Paed. I were lost and before the numerous corrections of young hands altered P. Since M and F are well preserved, the manuscripts derived from them can be disregarded entirely. However, M and F are important for two reasons: firstly, they replace P for us for Paed. I 1—96; secondly, they provide us with information in many cases about the original reading of P where it is now corrected, and about the age of the correction. If, for example, M or F reads like P-corrected, we know that the correction stems from Baanes himself or from Arethas. For all other corrections in P originate from a later time, after M and F had already been derived from it. For these reasons, M and F deserve a closer description. For M, see, besides Dindorf I p. VII f, also Allen, Notes on Greek Manuscripts in Italian Libraries, p. 13 f; Schwartz, Tatiani or. p. III f; Barnard ibid. IX—XII; Puntoni, Studi ital. di filol. class. IV p. 465 f; my Untersuchungen über d. Schol. original: "Investigations on the scholia" p. 9—15.

c. Mut. III. D. 7.

Mut. III. D. 7 (now No. 126) is a parchment manuscript of the 10th or 11th century. The height of the parchment is 25.5, the width 17 cm, the height of the written area 19.2, the width 10.1 cm; the number of lines is 31. The lines are incised; the letters stand on them but often slide down below them. The manuscript now has 295 leaves, of which, however, the first and the last three do not belong to the original manuscript. On the first leaf there is a table of contents. The content is as follows:
f. 2—48v Clement of Alexandria, Protr.
f. 48v—171r Clement of Alexandria, Paed.
f. 171v—173r The Hymns.
f. 173r An excerpt: "From the holy council at Chalcedon."

1) This is proven by the fact that the Oxford manuscript omits words in several places or writes them twice, which in the Genoa manuscript occupy exactly one line.
