Abstract

The study of the five apographs of the lost codex r is still partial. It can be shown that the scholia in R, Fi, Vf, Mk, Lb come down from r. Discussion on the sources of r and an inquiry about its readings. This lost ms. was probably copied during the Paleologean age. The scholia in Vf, Mk and Lb were copied from still extant mss. And R and Fi, although they are the first copies of r, are useless to establish a new text of the scholia on Demosthenes’ Or. 24.
