     According to Metzger's _The Text of the New Testament__, Codex
Sinaiticus originally contained (besides, obviously the NT) the entire
Septuagint (Apocrypha included) as well as a copy of the __Epistle of
Barnabas__ and a large portion of the __Shepherd of Hermas__.
Unfortunately, with the passage of time, Sinaiticus has become somewhat the
worse for wear, with portions of the LXX having perished, but with the NT
surviving intact.
