 F. C. Burkitt questioned this popular view . According to Burkitt , the note reads : " Bound to the Patriarchal Cell in the Fortress of Alexandria . He that lets it go out shall be cursed and ruined . The humble Athanasius wrote ( this ) . " The manuscript had been found on Mount Athos , and the manuscript might have been taken to Egypt by Cyril in 1616 , and that all the Arabic writing in the manuscript could have been inserted between that date and 1621 , when Cyril was elected Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople . On this supposition " Athanasius the humble " might have been " some person of Cyril 's staff who had charge of his library " . According to Burkitt 's view the codex was found on Athos , but it was written in Constantinople , because it represents a Constantinopolitan text ( now known as the Byzantine text ) . This hypothesis was supported by Kirsopp Lake .
