Nine leaves of the codex (Luke 12:15-13:32; John 8:33-42), belonged once to Carl Gottfried Woide, who received them from Egypt. They are known as Fragmentum Woideanum, they were designated by Ta or Twoi and were confused with Codex Borgianus. According to Tregelles they were parts of the same manuscript. Bp Lightfoot gave a reasons for thinking that this fragment was not originally a portion of Borgianus.

    If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.

    Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.
