Syriac

Foll. 1-246
title: The Funeral Service for all ranks.
The title, fol. 1 b, is unfortunately too much torn and effaced to admit of transcription, but we can perceive in it the name of the ܕܝܪܐ ܕܥܠܝܬܐ, dedicated to Mār Gabriel and Mār Abraham, at Mosul. [See Badger’s Nestorians, vol. ii. P. 17, note.]
The last few pages are so much mutilated that their contents cannot be stated with certainty.
