Lectionary 6, designated by siglum ℓ 6 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering). It is a Greek-Arabic diglot manuscript of the New Testament, on paper leaves, dated by a colophon to the year 1265.

Description

The codex contains Lessons from the Acts, Epistles lectionary (Apostolos), Psalms, but a few Lessons from the Gospels (Evangelistarium). It is written in Greek uncial letters, on 275 paper leaves, 2 columns per page, 18 lines per page. In Matthew 23:35 phrase υιου βαραχιου (son of Barachi'ah) is omitted; this omission is supported only by Codex Sinaiticus, codex 59 (by the first hand), two other Evangelistaria (ℓ 13, and ℓ 185), and citations in Eusebius.
