³⁰⁵ According to O and R, this Lesson is from the Epistle to the Galatians. This passage is to be read on Sunday of Week 32 after Pentecost. according to the liturgical indications in B and Z.

³⁰⁹ This passage is to be read on Sunday of Week 31 after Pentecost, according to the liturgical indications in B and Z. O and R assign it to the Epistle to the Galatians.

The pericope is enlarged with verse 1 and the first half of verse 2 of Ch. 1 in S P Q C Tf L. S, however, lacks the ‘main’ text of this pericope. because the text breaks off in the middle of verse 2. before the beginning of the ‘officiak Lesson for this day, according to Ćiflianov. 1976. This happens at the end of a folio (84r) and it is remarkable that the verso of the same folio simply omits a sizeable portion of text, continuing with the closing lines of the Lesson for Sunday of Week 31 (from 1 Tim. 1, 16-end of Lesson). This phenomenon might be explained by assuming that this folio 84 is extremely smali: on both sides it contains about 15 lines of texts, whilc the avcragc for the other folia is about 30 lines. if we may trust the edition of Kulbakin (see above, “Preface to the edition”).

Remarkably, in Z. a Fuli Lectionary, this passage is not found in its ‘p^roP^er place: there is only a cross-reference after the conclusion of the text for Saturday of that Week (31), saying that a passage from the Epistle to the Colossians is to be read on that Sunday. I found the text morę or less by chance searching the indexes of the edition of Apostolus B for the surrounding text of Colossians (Ch. 1, 1-2 and 7-11. to be read on Tuesday of Week 21 after Pentecost). That folio in Z gives the text of 1. 2-6, biling the gap in the Tuesday Lesson and clearly marked in margine as meant to be read on Sunday of Week 31. One can only guess at the reasons for this location: was it morę convenient for the scribe tot copy one large passage at one time? This would suggest that at least this copy of the Fuli Lectionary had a Continuous text as its cxamplc.
