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.
