| Script | Beneventan Minuscule |
| Date | VIII ex (779–797) (779 - 797) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written presumably at Monte Cassino during the abbacy of Theodemar (†797), as appears from the paschal table and entries referring to Monte Cassino abbots in the calendar. The list of 17 codices entered by a somewhat later Beneventan hand on fol. 69 has the item 'etthiomoligarum', which doubtless refers to our MS of the Etymologies. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is an early Beneventan of the tentative period by several hands: a is mostly closed; c and d have two forms; ligatures te and tu are frequent at line-ends; the ti-distinction and the rule for i-longa are not yet strictly observed. There is a striking resemblance between one of the hands of this MS and a hand in Paris Lat. 7530 (CLA 5.569), which comes from Monte Cassino. |
