Grec 510, fol. 440r): http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b84522082/f891.image.zoom The marginalium at right reads: _euresis tou timiou staurou_ ["finding of the Holy Cross"]. A clarification: whereas the manuscript is principally a copy of the _Orationes_ of St. Gregory of Nazianzus, it also contains a copy of St. Gregory the Thaumaturge's paraphrase of Ecclesiastes. The illumination in question serves as the frontispiece to this latter text.
