Greek Liturgical Manuscript

...indicating 45 35; the tenth, in which each of them wrote about certain unique matters. This, therefore, is the proposal of the canons set out below. The clear explanation of them is as follows: on each of the canons, a certain number is placed alongside by section, beginning from the first and proceeding to the last, and in order, the whole substance of the Gospels throughout. And under every number, a notation is placed in cinnabar vermilion ink, indicating in which of the ten canons the number happens to fall. For instance, as the 1 indicates that it is in the first, the 2 that it is in the second, and so on for the ten. If, therefore, you open any one of the four Gospels, whichever it may be, and see a chapter at some place, and wish to know who has said the similar things, and wish to refer to the proper places in each where they were brought together on the same subject: by seeking the number underlying these, you will always find it on the Gospels themselves in the canon which provides the notation by means of the cinnabar, or by running to the specific canons themselves so that you may find what they have said about that which you are seeking. In the same way, and for the same, [apply this] also to the numbers of the other Evangelists, those in the canon not continuously following the number, but by turning quickly to them inside the Gospels themselves, or [to] the number saying similar things. Be well.

A large scribal flourish follows the word "Be well."
