1 Bidez^Parmentier (34^5) present this list, which is preserved in Laurentianus 70, as
though it was a variant version of that in Laurentianus 79, Patmiacus 688 and Baroccianus
142. But this list begins ‘Chapters’ (Kefa¤ laia), just as the lists for Books ii and iii in Laurentianus
70, and is also slightly briefer than the alternative. For these reasons it deserves to
be presented separately.
