Summary: Baruch reads Jeremiah's prophecy to the exiles in Babylon, who send money for sacrifices and pray for their captors, as Paul also commands.

• Theodoret summarizes Baruch 1:1–14 without quoting a lemma. The scan's text is broken in several places (lines lost where the Greek and Latin columns were read together); the gaps are marked …, and the bracketed words supply the evident sense. "Manna" is Bar 1:10 (LXX μαννα, for Hebrew minḥah, a grain offering). The Apostle: 1 Tim 2:1–2.
