Description Updates:

The tituli for two councils ( Antioch and Laodicea ) are misplaced , that is they do not immediately precede their corresponding canons. The tituli for Laodicea are repeated in their proper place at the beginning of the Laodicean canons , though here they are incomplete (ending at titulum X). The tituli for Gangra are missing (the tituli for Antioch were copied in their place). For a fuller discussion , see http://individual.utoronto.ca/michaelelliot/hadriana.html.

Scribal practices:

Though he wrote clearly enough , the scribe was rather sloppy in copying hi text. He frequently shows confusion in his word division , and inconsistency in his use of abbreviations. For a fuller discussion , see http://individual.utoronto.ca/michaelelliot/hadriana.html.

Change of hands:

The entire text was copied by a single scribe , writing a Caroline minuscule script. Corrections were made by a hand very similar to the scribe\'s (indeed it may be he that made these corrections) , and in a later scrawling semi-cursive hand , perhaps s. xvi. editorial-practices = The scribe is not consistent in his deployment of abbrevaitions for certain words , including \'epis\' (which can stand for episcopus , episcopos or episcopis) , and \'aut\' (which can stand for aut or autem). I have therefore retained the abbreviated forms where there is ambiguity.
