From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Codex Koridethi (Θ, 038, Q, or theta) is a 9th century manuscript of the four Gospels. It is written in Greek with uncial script. There are gaps in the text: Matthew 1:1–9, 1:21–4:4, and 4:17–5:4 are missing. The text-type of Matthew, Luke, and John is more or less Byzantine, while Mark is Caesarean. The text gets its name from the town in which it was discovered. It was found in a monastery in the town of Koridethi (now Tiflis) in the region of Caucasus, near the Caspian Sea. The scribe who wrote the text is believed to have been unfamiliar with Greek. Written in two columns per page. The codex is located now in Tiflis (Georgian National Center of Manuscripts, Gr. 28).
