Additions
Addition 1 (Fol. 65a):
With reference to the blanks we read on the margin (on part three, on fol.
65a): "These names were rubbed out. By thy life, O reader, if a copy falls into
thy hands, supply them, that thou mayest be forgiven."
We should probably supply the names of ʾAnān-Yeshūaʿ, ܥܢܢܝܫܘܥ, and of the convent of Beth-ʾAbē, ܒܶܝܬ
ܥܳܒܷ̈ܐ.
