The ms. Ambrosiano O 39 sup. – is a manuscript of the Hexapla of Origen dated to the late ninth century C.E. written in a codex form. This is a palimpsest. The manuscript is designated with the number 1098 in the list of the septuagint manuscripts as the classification of Alfred Rahlfs. The manuscript is kept in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, located at Milan (O. 39 sup.).

Description

The codex is written in five columns per page, unlike other portions of the Hexapla it does not contain one column written in Hebrew language. The first column is a sequential transliteration from the Hebrew to Greek text, in the second probably a translation of Aquila, the third is a version of Symmachus, the fourth contain a text of the Septuaginta and the fifth column contains the Greek version of Quinta.[1]

This is the latest known manuscript that has the Septuagint text with the tetragrammaton.
