Simonides claimed to have found the Hermodorus papyrus in St. Catherine’s monastery - the same monastery where Tischendorf had discovered Codex Sinaiticus - and he promised that he was going to publish a facsimile of the whole Gospel after the codex of Hermodorus.120 Interestingly, Hermodorus has some similarities with Sinaiticus - most strikingly, the text is arranged in parallel columns of 49 lines.

120 Simonides (n. 4) 42.
