Ff. 1-2 [Stephani protomartyris] beginning with a chant that appears in a series of responsories of the III (?) nocturn. The respond and the opening of the verse are missing, but the first words of the latter might be [Ecce video]. The passage surviving from this chant is: [aper]tos et dominum stautem a dextris dej. [...].The last word is a catchword, but the damaged surface makes it illegible; De sancto Johanne ending exaltauit emu of the 3rd resp. of the II noct., Cibauit ilium.
