Physical Description

Vellum, about 8 7/8 in. by 6 1/8, consisting of 228 leaves, many of which are more or less stained and torn, especially foll. 1—32, 37, 38, 41, 216, 220, 221, and 224—228. The quires, originally 25 in number, are signed with both letters and arithmetical figures (e. g. fol. 102, ܝܓ; fol. 170, ܟ; etc. ). The later signatures are erroneous. Leaves are wanting at the beginning, and after foll. 4 and 12. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 29 to 35 lines. This volume is written in a good, regular Estrangělā of the viith cent. The lacuna after fol. 4 extends from p. 19 B to p. 24 A; and that after fol. 12, from p. 32 D to p. 34 E.

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): This volume is written in a good, regular Estrangělā of the viith cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): The later signatures are erroneous.
