About the Isaiah scrawl in Isaiah 1
the word you printed is "The Guard" or "the Keeper". the rest is too faint to read intelligently
============================
according to Logos
ke = Lord amartwlon = sinful Isaiah beginning
theofulakton -? Theophylact was born in the mid-11th century at Euripus (Chalcis) in Euboea, at the time part of the Byzantine Empire (now Greece). He became a deacon at Constantinople, attained a high reputation as a scholar, and became the tutor of Constantine Doukas , son of the Emperor Michael VII, for whom he wrote The Education of Princes. In about 1078 he moved to the Province of Bulgaria where he became the archbishop of Achrida (modern Ohrid).
Could be that this guy put a personal note on the page and signed it
and if he is then the ms must have existed in his day. however who is to say there is another man with the same name at another time in history
seems to be a note based on isaiah 6

Genius p. 83
Alles in allem hatte diesmal Simonides durch sein größenwahnsinniges Projekt alle Grenzen überschritten. Nicht nur Unterzeichnete er die Symais mit dem Monogramm des Mönchs Meletios und widersetzte sich so mit allen Mitteln dem gesunden Menschenverstand, sondern er griff an mehreren Stellen seine Kritiker heftig an, sprach sein Selbstlob aus und feierte seinen Triumph im Namen der Nation.
All in all, this time Simonides had exceeded all limits with his megalomaniacal project. Not only did he sign the Symais with the monogram of the monk Meletius, thus defying common sense by all means, but he also attacked his critics in several places, expressed his self-praise and celebrated his triumph in the name of the nation.

This p. 83 needs translation, and more study compared to the Isaiah scrawl in Sinaiticus.
