20. Thibaut (p.126) thinks-that two marginal notes refer to Koukouzeles, but it is more likely a hint to an author of hymnography perhaps to John of Damaskus (cf. Beck, Kirche 485). Furthermore it would contradict the indication given by Chatzegiakumes (p.327) which for its part dates back only to the 18th century; compare also Jakovljevic, A., ‘Inventar muzickih rukopisa manastira Hilandara’, Hilandarski Zbornik 4 (1978) 210 Google Scholar (likewise from an 18th century ms.).
