Additions
N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
Addition 1 (Fol. 65a):
On the margin of foll. 65 a and 148 a there are notes, from which it
appears that the manuscript was brought from the East, from the
convent of Mar Matthew,
Mar
Zacchaeus, Mar Behnam, and
his sister
Sara
, by a monk named John of
Beth-Cudidia (or Cudida), to
a convent, the name of which is not
specified.
ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܘܕܝܕܐܝܐ ܕܐܝܨܦ
ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܘܗܘ ܟܬܒܗ ܘܐܝܬܘܗ (sic) ܟܬܒܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܒܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ
ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܬ (sic) ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܥܠܡ
ܥܠܡܝܢ.
Addition 2 (Fol. 148a):
See above for description.
ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܐܝܨܦ
ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܡܢ ܥܘܡܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܪܡܬܝ ܘܡܪܙܟܝ ܘܡܪܒܗܢܡ ܣܗܕܐ
ܘܣܪܐ ܚܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܡܦܩ ܕܝ̈ܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ̈ܢܫܐ ܘܫܝ̈ܕܐ ܛܪܕ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܪ ܡܠܟܐ
ܣܢܚܪܝܒ
Addition 3:
On fol. 148 a another hand has recorded that it was presented to a
certain convent (the name seems to begin with the letters dn) by the brothers John and
Zakhe.
ܨ̇ܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܕܫܟܢܘܗܝ [ܠܕܝܪ]ܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܙܟ݁ܐ܀ ܘܟܠܢ ܕܡܦܩ
[ܠܗ ܡܢ] ܕܝܪܐ ܗܕ ܕܖܢـ . . . ܢܗܘ̣ܐ ܡܚܪܡ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܫ.
Addition 4:
On the margin of fol. 132 b there stands the following note,
barbarously written and scarcely intelligible.
ܨܠܘ ܠ ܪܒܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܟܛܝܘ ܪܒܢ ܣܘܪܝܣ ܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܡܪܒܗ
ܨܪܐ ܟܬܗ ܐܝܬ ܠܒܪܝܬ (or ܠܒܪܝܝܐ) ܕܐܣܩܝܛܝ
Addition 5:
The marginal note on fol. 132b may perhaps mean the following.
ܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܪܒܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܚܛܝܐ [ܒܪ] ܪܒܢ ܣܘܪܝܣ ܕܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ
ܕܡܪܝ ܒܗ[ܢܡ ܘ]ܣܪܐ ܚܬܗ ܠܒܪܝܬ [بَرِّيَّة]
ܕܐܣܩܝܛܝ.
