Additions
N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
Addition 1:
The larger sections have been noted between the columns by a later hand.
Addition 2:
Other lessons have been added by later hands on the margins.
Addition 3:
Many Greek vowels (ܰ, ܶ, ܺ, ܳ, , , ,)have been added, in the first half, by a later hand.
Addition 4:
Another marginal division, by means of Greek letters, is carried through part of the volume. Of these latter sections there are 72 (ΟΒ) in S. Matthew; but in S. Mark the numeration seems to stop with ΚΓ(fol. 53b), and in S. Luke with Θ(fol. 73b), whilst in S. John it does not appear at all.
Addition 5:
The same person, apparently, who added the Greek vowels, has inserted, chiefly in the Gospel of S. Matthew, some various readings from the Harklensian version
(ܚܪܩܠܝܐ, abbreviated ܚܪܩ and ܚܪ), e.g.foll.5 a and b, 7b, 12 a, 17 a, 19 a and b, 22b, 23 a, 24 b, etc.; more rarely from other sources (ܐܚܪܢܐ or ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ), e.g. foll.26b, 32b, 33b, 35b, etc. Occasional attempts have been made to represent Syriac words by Greek letters; e.g. fol.18b, ܡܶܣܳܪ̈ܝܴܬܳܐ, ΜΑⲤΑ; fol.30 a, ܢܰܛܥ̇ܝܟܘܢ, ΝΑΤΕ; fol.31 a, ܪ̈ܘܚܐ, ΡΟΥΞΕ; fol.66b, ܐܶܣܛܰܣܝܻܢ, ΑⲤΤΑⲤΗⲤ; fol.132a, ܣܪܝ ܠܗ, ⲤΗΡΙ ΛΕ.
