Résumé :

This article presents a codicological and paleographical description of an unknown ancient parchment fragment containing a Praxapostolos currently conserved in Enna. It is written in «maiuscola ogivale inclinata». After reviewing other witnesses transcribed with the same writing style, such as Vat. gr. 2059 and Angel. gr. 106 (the third unit), a dating to the tenth century is proposed on the basis of paleographic comparisons, and a likely provenance from a monastic center in the area adjacent to the Strait of Messina. From the careful reconstruction of the circumstances of the discovery, the city of Nicosia in Sicily can be identified as the first known site of conservation of this fragment.
