The dissolution of the manuscript was accelerated by the use of odd leaves for binding; these seem to have been pulled out at random, for the Genesis fragments certainly came from f. ii of the original manuscript, the Numbers from somewhere about ff. 72-4, while the Judith fragment comes from the middle of a well-preserved part.

Genesis fragment relates to Simonides markings

Tischendorf Appendix Codicum includes Uspensky bookbinding fragments Genesis Numbers - Litt. C. Blatt, 1867 (27) Tisch comments on Uspensky binding find - breathing Tobit 6:9 -

Leaving aside anything related to the New Finds, including the Sarris fragment.
