The manuscripts was examined, described, and collated by Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568-572, 575, and 1567). The manuscript was also examined by Kurt Treu.
Currently the manuscript is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 105) in Saint Petersburg.[2]

Notes
<templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" />
- ↑ Muralt's catalogue says no more than "Karahissar", which is ambiguous. The problem may be impossible to resolve. It can only be noted that Afyonkarahisar is nowadays the most populous of the places, and the closest to Constantinople, where Titoff was stationed; and that Şebinkarahisar formerly had a sizable Armenian - likely Christian - population.
