1 Immisch (and others) dated this manuscript to the fourteenth century or later (Philologische Studien zu Platon, ii. 72),Google Scholar but Professor A. Turyn has found some precise evidence to show that ‘Y is in its entirety a product of about 1300 A.D., written in Constantinople by seven scribes, one of whom was Maximus Planudes.’ (Quotation from a letter dated 21 Aug. 1965.)

2 Very occasionally there are errors in Y which do not spring readily from the reading in Esc, e.g. 153 b 5 ; B W T Par: Esc: Y.

3 Mr. W. S. M. Nicoll has argued in C.Q. N.s. xvi (1966), 70 ff., that for the Apology also Y depends on Esc, though in this case he finds that Esc probably derives from Par itself.Google Scholar
