ΑΠΟ: ΙΩ: Κεφ. θ.

Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ζητήσουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸν θάνατον καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν' καὶ ἐπιθυμήσουσιν ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ φεύξεται ὁ θάνατος ἀπ' αὐτῶν

On second fly-leaf: "Semper ego tui memoriam colam; semper tua imago ante oculos observabitur; semper idem mihi eras; qui idem semper eras bonis omnibus."

These volumes which were presented by George Ticknor to Lord Byron,[I] and, in turn, presented by him to Scrope Davies, passed into the hands of Sir Francis Burdett (1770-1844), and are now in the possession of his grandson, Mr. F. B. Money-Coutts.
