Nadezhda Kavrus-Hoffmann identified the parent manuscript of this fragment as Codex Athens, National Library of Greece 2641, an Old Testament with patristic commentaries commissioned by the patrician Samonas (a favorite of Emperor Leo VI) from the cleric Joseph in 913/914. Her analysis was based on the script, size, ruling pattern and contents, the results of which are summarized in her article, “Lost and Found Folios of Codex Athens, National Library of Greece 2641: Philadelphia, Free Library, Fragment Lewis E 251.” Rivista di studi Bizantini e Neoellenici 42 (2005): 93-104.
