 Frederic G. Kenyon opposed to the <unk> 's view and argued that Cyril firmly believed in the Egyptian origin of the codex . A. S. Fulton , the Keeper of the Department of Oriental Printed Books and Manuscripts ( in British Museum ) , in 1938 re @-@ examined the Athanasius note , and gave it as his opinion that on palaeographical grounds it could be dated 13th to 14th century and that the 17th century was excluded . In 1945 T. D. <unk> published a catalogue of the library of the Patriarch of Alexandria , in which he printed two Greek notes , both from 10th @-@ century manuscripts of John Chrysostom , inserted by the Patriarch Athanasius III . The two notes must have been written between 1308 and 1316 . Although the note in the Codex Alexandrinus is entirely in Arabic , and therefore no identity of hand the Greek notes can be expected , the similarity of wording leaves no doubt that this also is the work of Athanasius III .
