• Verona Italy Biblioteca Capitolare LV (53) (foll. 33–4, 61–99) [palimpsest old]

Origin uncertain, presumably North Italy. The MS must have been written before 486, as the list of consuls added on fol. 89, the first leaf of the main MS, ends with that year; the continuation, extending to Asterius 494, is by a somewhat later and less formal hand.

Script is a small, delicately penned half-uncial: a has the uncial form; Ᵹ is a short letter; m is almost uncial; the oblique stroke of N is thin and low; the top of ꞇ is a hair-line. The uncial of the Fasti Consulares is apparently by a contemporary hand: it is bold and clear but not very expert; the oblique of N is thin.
