Iste primus jechonias , uria occiso, jeremia incluso, libro prophetie baruch scisso, cum nec exemplo rechabitarum fuisset commonitus, soluto tribus annis nabucodonosor tributo, ab eo tandem interfectus est et extra e[..]ra muros proiectus .

This first Jeconiah, after Uriah was killed, Jeremiah imprisoned, and the book of Baruch's prophecy torn up, did not heed the example of the Rechabites. He paid tribute to Nebuchadnezzar for three years, but finally was killed by him and thrown from the walls.

Image excerpts from the manuscripts (as grouped by main graph versions) are the result of tool-based image annotation (via Cadmus) or manual extraction. For each manuscript version only these visually annotated manuscripts are listed here. For the grouping of all manuscripts we provide a separate list (Manuscript groups). Transcriptions are semi-diplomatic following project specific rules.
