But 2,23 does not start in a new line. Ekthesis in the next line, with the first letter enlarged, is observed. At 3,1, a new line is started in- tentionally, leaving the last part of the previous line blank. Ekthesis is also found, with the first letter enlarged. A paragraphos is in- scribed above the protruded letter H together with a kephalaia marker (+), which refers to the codex’s own table of contents 34. Together they signal a new major section according to the codex. Furthermore, a Eusebian Canon marker, original to the codex 35, is also found in the left margin. This combination of features clearly shows that the copyist puts a major break into the text at 3,1, espe- cially when one compares it to his treatment at 2,22. b.

I am indebted to Dr. William Andrew Smith for pointing out to me that “3: ~” next to “H” was written by Patrick Young, the royal librarian under Charles I, to whom Codex Alexandrinus was given as a gift in the mid-17th century. 36 Online images can be viewed at the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts: http://csntm.org/manuscript/zoomify/GA_032? image=CodexW_067a.jpg&page=9.
