Ambr. A 63 sup., f. 90v

F. 90v transmits verses 30-62 of Callimachus’ First Hymn (Hymn to Zeus), accompanied by six marginal scholia and several interlinear glosses. The folio exemplifies how the space reserved for the para-text is used by the copyist in a way that differs from Ambr. S 31 sup. and B 98 sup. The scribe chooses not to place the scholia next to the word commented upon, but begins copying them alongside the first line of the poetic text, without following the sequence of the corresponding lemmata; thus, scholion 39 is aligned with the first verse of the folio, and scholion 51 is written before scholia 48 and 49a. The initial letter of each scholion is written in red, and – with only one exception – they are copied continuously, without starting a new line.

The dimensions of the written area are mm 26 [156] 35 × 80 [65] 25.
