Colophon

On the Eucharist B is the fifth and last of the liturgical sub-texts appended to A Valentinian Exposition in Codex XI. It occupies page 44. The most damaged of the five, what survives mentions food and drink, purity, and dying in holiness — likely a eucharistic meditation on the sacramental meal and eschatological transformation.
