N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.

Addition 2 (Fol. 133a): A note on fol. 133 a states that the lessons for Passion Week were compiled by Daniel the blind, of Beth-Batin, and his disciple Isaac.(ܣܓܝ ܢܘܗ̣ܪ̈ܐ = البصير, % ) Beth-Batin is in the district of Harran, on which see Assemani, Bibl.

Addition 4 (Fol. 192b): The notes on foll. 192 b and 193 a state that this manuscript was written in the year 1525 (A.D. 1214),—when John (XIV.) was patriarch of Antioch; John (VI., ibn Abī Ghālib), patriarch of Egypt; and John, bishop of the convent of Mar Simeon at Kartamīn,—in the convent of Mār Malchus, by one Simeon bar Abraham, from Arbū, for the monks of the said convent. The note on fol. 192 b reads: ܐܫܬܠܲܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܦܘܪܫ ܩܪ̈ܝܢܐ ܫܢ̣ܬ݀ ܐܠܦ ܘܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܘ܏ܟܗ ܕܝܘܢ̈ܝܐ. ܏ܒܝܘ ܒܚܙܝܪܢ ܝܪܚܐ. ܒܝܘܡ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܒܫܒܐ. ܒܦܠܓܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ. ܒܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܦܐܛܪܝܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܛܝܘܟܝܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ. ܘܡܪܝ ܝܘܐܢܝܣ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ. ܘܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܦܝܣ܏ܩܘ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܏ܩܕ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܩܪܬܡܝܢ. ܐܬܟܬ݂ܒ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܫܬܲܡܠܝ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܢܨܝܚܐ. ܒܗ̇ܘ ܟܘܪܚܐ ܡ̇ܥܪܒܝܐ ܒܐܝ̈ܕܝܐ ܠܐ ܕܟ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܕܐܡܝ̣ܪ. ܡܢܗ̇ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܕܐܫܬܡܗ̣ܬ܇ ܒܓܢܣܗ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܘ. ܒܪ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܕܡܬܝ̣ܕܥ ܕܫܘܠܡ. ܟܕ ܬܒ̇ܥ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܚܐ ܦܪܘܫܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܦܓܥ̣ ܒܗ ܕܢܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܕܟܬ̣ܒ ܐܝܟ ܚ̇ܝ̣ܠܗ. ܏ܘܫ ܘܨܠܲܘ ܥܠ ܕܕ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܒܘ ܝܣܝܪ ܏ܩܫ. ܘܡܢܨܘܪ. ܘܨܠܲܘ ܥܠ ܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܩܘܪܝܩܘܣ ܕܝܪܝܐ ܏ܘܩܫ ܘܪܒܢ ܡܪܩܘܣ ܕܝܪܝܐ ܏ܘܩܫܝ ܐܪܒܝܐ. ܘܨܲܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ. ܘܨܲܠܘ ܥܠ ܪܒܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܏ܩܫܝ ܘܕܝܪܝܐ ܕܗ̣ܘ ܫ̇ܡ̣ܫ ܐܝܟ ܚܲܝܠܗ. ܘܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܨܲܠܐ ܐܦ ܗ̣ܘ ܢܬܚܲܣܐ ܐܡܝܢ܀ ܘܨܲܠܘ ܥܠ ܪܒܢ ܝܘܐܢܝܣ ܏ܡܫܡ ܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܘܢܝܣܪܝܐ ܕܐܦ ܗ̣ܘ ܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܛܝܡ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ. ܨܲܠܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܪܝܪܐ On John, patriarch of Antioch, see Assemani, Bibl.
