N.B.:
Karl August Eckhardt includes this codex in his edition of
the Pactus legis Salicae, although it only carries the Childeberti II.
decretio. Since the Childeberti II. decretio is almost exclusively
transmitted in the context of Lex Salica manuscripts (especially type D
and E) we decided to list the codex here as well. Regarding this issue
see the article by Wilhelm Alfred Eckhardt.
