The name of the professional caligraphist to the monastery at St. Panteleemon was Dionysius; the name of the monk who was sent by the Patriarch Constantius to convey the volume from the island of Antigonus to Sinai was Germanus. The volume, whilst in my possession, was seen by many persons, and it was perused with attention by the Hadji John Prodromos, son or Pappa Prodromos,who was a minister of the Greek Church in Trebizond. John Prodromos kept a coffee-house in Galatas, Constantinople, and probably does so still. The note from the Patriarch Constantius, acknowledging the receipt of the MSS., together with 25,000 piastres, sent to me by Constantius as a benediction, was brought to me by the deacon Hilarion. All the persons thus named are, I believe, still alive, and could bear witness to the truth of my statement.

This patron was found in Constantius, ex-Patriarch of Constantinople and Archbishop of Sinai, at whose residence in the isle of Antigonus, the Patriarch being absent, he left the volume in 1841. Constantius accepted the gift in a gracious and fatherly letter, with which he sent 25,000 piastres (about ?1300 we believe42) and his benediction. It may well be presumed that the prelate whose benediction to a young scholar amounted to something approaching the fee-simple of his bishopric [[i.e., a great favor]] is now in the number of the blest; he was already dead, as Tischendorf tells us, early in 1859; but in 1844 Simonides heard from his own lips that he had long ago sent the Codex to Sinai, and there accordingly its writer found it (though now imperfect and with an older appearance than it ought to have had) on the occasion of two visits he made there in 1844 and 1852; in 1852 he vainly questioned the librarian about its history.
