In addition to the Akathistos, the manuscript contains an anthology of hymns by various authors. The Akathistos itself is followed by the Acoluthia to the Akathistos hymn (fols. 35-43), by the Canon of the Annunciation, written in part by John of Damascus and in part by Theophanes of Nicaea (fols. 43v-55) and by the Consolatory Canon to the Most Holy Immaculate Lady, the Mother of God (fols. 55-61v), by an unknown author. The canons are followed (fols. 62-66) by two series of strophic troparia by Patriarch Philotheos Kokkinos. It closes (fols. 67-71) with a contritional hymn with an alphabetic acrostic for Emperor Leo the Wise. The last quires (fols. 72-75) are blank. Cf. Dumbarton Oaks papers, v. 26 (1972), p. [239].
