this MS from time to time. Judging from these, we infer that it must
have been very closely allied to Regin. 81. Thus they agree
in such
readings as Ephes. 9 ' clarificabit ' for ' glorificabit ', Ephcs. 21 'que
(or quae) misistis' for 'quem misistis Philad. 11

'Agathopo', Mar. 4 'Anencletum' for Anacletum

glorifica me pater (the addition of ' pater '), Philipp. 2 ' spiritus
paracletus' (the omission of 'sanctus' after 'spiritus'). Like Regin. 81
also it contained the prayer of Hero. As Petau's mss generally passed
into the library of the Queen of Sweden, to which also Regin. 81
belongs, we are led to suspect thut the two should be identified.
Unless however either Dressel's collation of Regin. 81 or Ussher's of
Petav. is inaccurate, this cannot be ; for they do not always agree'.
The next seven, if not eight, manuscripts are all
Burgundian and
seem to be closely allied.
