In 2007–2009, during a research project of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) on Greek palimpsests of the Austrian National Library in Vienna, Jana Grusková discovered and partly deciphered fragments of an unknown ancient text in eight pages of a medieval (Byzantine) manuscript (Codex Vind. hist. gr. 73) and identified them as probably coming from Dexippus’ Scythica (see Untersuchungen, 2010, 51–53). The text, written in an 11th-century Greek script, is hardly legible with the naked eye since the ink was washed off the parchment in the 13th century and the valuable writing material was reused for a new text (a so-called palimpsest).
