Esther note:
"It was collated with an exceedingly ancient copy which had been corrected by the hand of the holy martyr Pamphilus: now, at the end of the same very ancient book, which began with the first of Kings, and terminated at Esther, there was in the margin a certain autograph intimation of the same martyr running thus:—
“It was copied and corrected after the Hexapla of Origen, which had been corrected by him. Antoninus, a confessor, collated it; I, Pamphilus, corrected the volume in the prison, through the great favour and enlargement of God. And indeed it is not hard to say that it would not he easy to find a copy comparable to this copy. Now the same most ancient book differed from this volume as to the [a corrector makes it ‘certain '] proper names.”
2 Esdras note:
“Collated with an extremely ancient copy corrected by the hand of the holy martyr Pamphilus: with regard to which there was attached at the end a subscription in his own handwriting, running thus:—
‘Copied from, and corrected by, the Hexapla of Origen; Antoninus collated; I, Pamphilus, corrected”

This page on the CPamph corrector and script analysis seems it could be helpful:
CPamph corrector - only on the Leipzig section - does later quire numbers - knows ancient style - Tischendorf?
Collated against an extremely old copy corrected in the hand of the holy martyr Pamphilus, which copy at the end has a signature in his own hand, reading thus:
Copied from and corrected against the Hexapla of Origen Antoninus collated I, Pamphilus, corrected
Second a longer colophon at the end of Esther:8
Collated against an extremely old copy corrected in the hand of the holy martyr Pamphilus. At the end of this very old book (which begins with the First Book of Kingdoms and ends at Esther) is the signature, in its distinctive form, of Pamphilus himself, reading thus:
Copied from and corrected against the Hexapla of Origen as corrected by himself. Antoninus the confessor collated; I, Pamphilus, corrected the volume in prison, with the great favour and enlargement of God. And if it is not too much to say, to find a copy to match this one would not be easy.
