Note
Lewis uses this manuscript to offer contrast/variants for his edition of Llanover MS 13075B. Lewis notes as well that the text is incomplete, however; he says 'Cynnwys c. 6 y testun o'r dechrau hyd tua ddiwedd Medicus, yna o fraeddegau olaf Gaza hyd ddiwedd Vidua' (roughly: 'the text runs from the beginning to about the end of Medicus, then from the last few chapters of Gaza to the end of Vidua') (Lewis, 1958, p. 29).
