He sells everything he owns and buys the field.
This reading, taken entirely from Matthew, comprises the caput given. However, the chapter boundary as shown in the Codex Fuldensis, here differ from those in the Codex Sangallensis, and with context. I recommend the Sangallen boundary, which also coincides with the specified ending of this weeks reading.
The failure of Victor’s capita to coincide with context indicates that they were originally marginal notes, and not exactly placed.

LXXVII. De thesauro abscondito in agro et negotiationem margaritarum, sagena missa in mare et de patre familias qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
(Of the treasure hidden in the field, the business of the pearls, a net cast into the sea, and the householder who bringeth forth out of his treasure, new things and old.)

77: 1
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
2
Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.
3
Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kinds of fishes. Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
4
So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
5
Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
