Editio princeps (from which we differ): E.O. Winstedt, Classical Quarterly 1.4 (1907) 266.

This transcription was made by the Verbum Project as part of an online and printed edition of the Old Latin versions of John between 2003 and 2010.

This transcription covers the entire fragment. It contains John 7:27-28, 7:30-31. Full Eusebian apparatus (with parallel passages from other gospels) in margin.The transcription includes foliation, lineation, all punctuation and abbreviations. We differ from Winstedt by not including his conjectural addition of 'IHS' in John 7:28, as this is not required by the space remaining. As a result, the text of this witness is identical to the Stuttgart Vulgate; the full Eusebian Apparatus (provided in the transcription) supports this Vulgate affiliation.The initial transcription file was a plain text file for use with COLLATE. Further information about the procedures followed may be found in the electronic edition at http://www.iohannes.com/vetuslatina/

nemoscitun‐ desit lxxuiClamabatergoThe editio princeps (Winstedt 1907) reconstructs 'IHS' following e[rgo] at the end of this line, and tem[plo] at the end of the next. However, with an average of ten letters per line, we see no reason to posit the non-Vulgate addition of 'IHS'. iiiiiiThe first three strokes of the Eusebian canon number are clear; the next three are faint, as if the expected number 'iii' (3) has been re-written.docensintem cxii c cxii (112) is the equivalent Ammonian section in Matthew; underneath this is the top of a further 'c' followed by another letter: this may be part of clxxix (179), the equivalent Ammonian section in Luke. nondumuen‐ erathoraeius· deturbaaute&nbar;
