Source Description
Fragments of two leaves, formerly reused as waste, but originally from a homiliary or other collection of sermons. The larger fragment is essentially complete, missing only approximately half of its lower margin, with no loss to text. This larger leaf contains a portion of Pseudo-Augustine's Sermones suppositii de Scripturis, Sermo I (Patrologia Latina, XXXIX, col. 1738), which continues into the smaller leaf, where it is followed by St. Ambrose's Homily on Luke (18:35) (Patrologia Latina, XV, col. 1790). The smaller of the two fragments comprises the lower half of a leaf and retains 15 of its original 31 lines.
