Transcription

Codex Vaticanus Graecus 386. Also contains the panegyric on Origen by Gregory Thaumaturgus, which is prefixed likewise to many of its copies...

In the 15th or 16th century a leaf had disappeared from Bk. 2, c. 13 ff. However as early as the 14th century, passages by Celsus had been erased. For example in Bk. 1, 32 a slander about the birth of Christ had been erased, perhaps as blasphemous.
