Mount Athos Psalter, MS. Pantocrator 61?
Byzantine, 9th century
Death of Absalom


This is probably from Pantocrator 61. David Nicolle has it from Byzantine Psalter Bib. Nat. Ms. Grec. 20, but it does not appear in the BnF's digital copy.
The lower case text and blue uppercase captions match Mount Athos Psalter, MS. Pantocrator 61 rather than Bib. Nat. Ms. Grec. 20.
