Written presumably in the same centre as the following item, as suggested by colophons and spelling. Later at Corbie. A seventeenth century Corbie ex-libris is seen on fol. 1; the same page has an eighteenth century Saint-Germain-des-Prés ex-libris with the numbers '960, olim 676'.

Script is a somewhat heavy and inexpert uncial with a characteristic uncial A in which the bow is detached from the stem and ends in a hair line; the top of T terminates in two downward pendants; v-shaped U occurs at line-ends; X is high-waisted. The whole writing is uneven.
