Volumes VIII / 4 and 5 include a reconstruction of the first and second version of the second book (On Man) of the Sacra (Paralella), a florilegium compiled by a monk named John at the beginning of the 7th century, erroneously attributed to John of Damascus. The version includes 2293 texts taken from the Bible, the Church Fathers, Philo of Alexandria, and Flavius Josephus.

The second half-volume of the first recension contains the stoicheia zeta to omega.
