See Kéry, Collections pp. 5 and 43:

The first part of the codex containing the councils of the Dionysiana in the Interpretatio secunda and several canons of the First Council of Arles (a. 314), is kept today in St. Petersburg, Rossiyskaya Natsional’naya Biblioteka, F.v.II.3, cf. Turner’s argument in: “The MSS of Councils in the Library of the College of Clermont’, JTS 1 (1899) 438-441; for detailed information about the Saint Petersburg Codex, cf. Turner, “The Lyon-Petersburg MS of Councils’, JTS 4 (1902-03), 426-434; A. Staerk, Manuscrits Latins 1.13-15; CLA 11, no. 1061, p. 8 and 31; Mordek, Bibliotheca capitularium 58 [...].

The second part contains a copy of the preface of the Collectio Dionysiana II and a copy of Collectio Sancti Mauri. According to CLA: saec. IXin.
