Look at the characters. They are written in the modern Greek alphabet. You can easily verify it for yourself. Check out Ancient Scripts: Greek. And as I said, the vellum would have deteriorated because of the changes in temperatures and humidity over the past 14 to 16 centuries.
"Preservation[edit]
True vellum is typically stored in a stable environment with constant temperature and 30% (± 5%) relative humidity. If vellum is stored in an environment with less than 11% relative humidity, it becomes fragile, brittle, and susceptible to mechanical stresses; if it is stored in an environment with greater than 40% relative humidity, it becomes vulnerable to gelation and to mold or fungus growth.[11] The optimal temperature for the preservation of vellum is 20 ± 1.5 °C (68 ± 2.7 °F).[citation needed]"
