[B-Greek] Greek word in the margin of D

This was passed along to me by a student, but upon looking myself at  
our facsimile of Bezae, the reading is as follows:
ANNAG NOSMA, with the word often repeated but with these two parts  
normally/always being separated on different lines.  Once the  
spelling is ANNAS NOSMA, but the others that I saw are ANNAG NOSMA.   
Now I wonder if the actual division was ANNA GNOSMA, such as "to mark  
up/above).  Any ideas on this one?
