² E. Vogt, Procli hymni (Wiesbaden, 1957).

³ E. Gamillscheg and D. Harlfinger, Repertorium der griechischen Kopisten (Vienna, 1981-), I no. 97 = II 131 = III 165. I thank Rudolf Stefec for confirming my identification, and for alerting me to his own supplement to the list of manuscripts of Proclus' Hymns (Beinecke 532: ‘Aus der literarischen Werkstatt des Michael Apostoles’, Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinistik 60 [2010], 29–48 Google Scholar, at 30).

⁴ D. Harlfinger and J. Harlfinger, Wasserzeichen aus griechischen Handschriften (Berlin, 1974–1980). Formentin, M.R., ‘Il punto su Demetrio Mosco’, Bollettino della Badia Greca di Grottaferrata 52 (1998), 235–57Google Scholar, at 254. Formentin notes several encircled crossbows among the watermarks on Moschos's paper: Marcianus gr. VIII 18 and Neapolitanus III D 22 = Harlfinger ‘Arbalète 32’; Parisinus gr. 2157 ~ ‘Arbalète 31’ and ‘Arbalète 38’.

⁵ Cf. Harlfinger's slightly larger ‘Mains 24–5’, from around the same date.

⁶ For the identified scribes of the Parisinus, see M. Cariou's entry in the online BnF manuscript catalogue: http://archivesetmanuscrits.bnf.fr/cdc.html (accessed 16 July 2015).

⁷ Of the further hands (fols 84r, 87v, 88v, 94r), that on 88v is a good match for Manuel Gregoropoulos in Laurentianus 70.21 (α with strong diagonal; β like a podgy love-heart on its side; δ with long, narrow loop into the next letter; ν with a small loop off to the left instead of a lower vertex, etc.); it is less like the image of Manuel's writing in RGrK (see n. 3, above) I.C no. 249.

⁸ For Aristoboulos's birth (recent in a letter of 1469) and deaconate, see D.J. Geanakoplos, Greek Scholars in Venice (Cambridge, MA, 1962), 168–9.

⁹ Cf. Mains 10, 12, 18.

¹⁰ See Vogt (n. 2), 25 for the stemma.

¹¹ The date is secured by the watermark and by Constantine Lascaris's correction of Valla's signature: see O. Thomas, ‘Homeric and/or Hymns: some fifteenth-century approaches’, forthcoming in A. Faulkner, A. Vergados and A. Schwab (edd.), The Reception of the Homeric Hymns (Oxford).

¹² Many of B's marginalia were copied by Michael Souliardos into Ambrosianus 11 (A63sup.), but the Bruxellensis matches B's title for hymns 4 and 6 rather than those of the Ambrosianus.

¹³ Another notable alignment with O—7.41 κῦρμα—could be Moschos's correction: B has κῦμα, B² the gloss συντυχία. Moschos attempted several other corrections, e.g. 7.38 ἐρέχθομαι for ἐρίχθομαι, 43 γυίοις (γύλοις β, om. O).

¹⁴ See Formentin (n. 4). The pages of the Bruxellensis have a different column-length from both Marcianus and Vaticanus; there is no reason to think they ever belonged with either.
