- Fol. 52 b contains the Nicaeno-Constantinopolitan creed, in Arabic. The writer, a Maronite priest of Mount Lebanon, from the district of Tripolis, named Sa'īd ibn Butrus ibn Mansūr, added a few lines at the end, stating that he had been a prisoner for 12 years (at Al-Kāhira?) in the خِزانة البُنُود, or place where the royal standards were stored, and was released in the days of al-Malik an-Nāsir (Mohammad ibn Kalā'ūn? who began to reign A.D. 1293).
