Note 123 — Chapter II · MATERIALS OF THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. (continued 3)

Called 2pe by Tischendorf, and numbered 81 in Westcott and Hort, and 565 in TiGr. Mark of this manuscript was edited by Belsheim in 1885, with a collation of the other three Gospels. It is a valuable cursive, as appears from what is said of it in W-H: “The most valuable cursive for the preservation of Western readings in the Gospels is 81, a St. Petersburg manuscript called 2pe by Tischendorf, as standing second in a list of documents collated by Muralt. It has a large ancient element, in great measure Western, and in St. Mark its ancient readings are numerous enough to be of real importance.” See above, under Codex N, p. 68.
