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

“Lastly in 1867 Tischendorf completed his task by printing in his Appendix Codicum certain fragments of Genesis and Numbers which had been discovered by the Archimandrate Porfirius in the bindings of other Sinai MSS 2”
