What is the text on the four newly identified pages of 064 at St. Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai ? That’s the question that this post was
written to answer! Without further
introduction, here is the front-and-back transcription of the Greek lower writing on
fol. 72 and fol. 71 of Syriac 7. Red letters indicate a deviation from the Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Textform.
On 72v., in the first column, in the 10th line, part of the text is obscured by the upper writing. It looks like the copyist accidentally skipped a syllable and perhaps a correction was made in different ink which did not survive.
The last digit in the Section-number beside Mt. 27:37 is probably Δ but it is difficult to say for sure because it is obscured by the upper writing.
Page-views of Syriac 7 are online at the Sinai Palimpsests Project at sinai.library.ucla.edu, a publication of St. Catherine’s Monastery of the Sinai in collaboration with EMEL and UCLA. The pages with the text represented here can be viewed as the last two pages of the manuscript, upside down (relative to the Syriac text).
Readers are welcome to double-check the data in this post.
