- Colophon

On fol. 63a, between the last line of the text and the subscription, the scribe Constantine has recorded his name:

ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܩܘܣܛܢܛܝܢܐ ܟܬܘܒܐ.

- On fol. 63b there is an ancient note, written by a priest named Sābā, stating that this and some, other volumes were collated in the convent of Mār Zacchæus.

ܐܬܦܚܡ ܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܗ̈ܠܝܢ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܙܟܝ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܠܐܝ ܒܦܘܚܡܐ ܕܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܗ̈ܠܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܣܒܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܟܬܒܝܬ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝ܀܀܀

- Just below this there stands a note of more recent date, which informs us that the book belonged at one time to a deacon named Sa'īd bar Cyrus of Nisibis .

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܪܩܣܕܣܥܝܕܒܪ ܩܘܪܝܣ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ: ܐܝܟ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ: ܐܘ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܡܢܗ: ܏ܘܫ.

- On fol. 64a we find a contemporary record of the death of Isaac, abbat of the convent called ܕܝܪܐ ܕܐܘܪ̈ܛܝܐ, or the Convent of the Iberians, dated 1st Ilūl, A.G. 894, A.D.583. See Assemani, Bibl. Orient., t. i. p. 274, note.:

ܒܫܢܬ ܬܡ̈ܢܡܐܐ ܘܬܫ̈ܥܝܢ ܘܐܪ̈ܒܥ. ܐܝܟ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܝ̈ܘܢܝܐ. ܒܐܝܪܚ ܐܠܘܠ ܒܪܝܫܗ. ܢܦ̣ܩ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܥ̈ܩܬܐ̣ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܚܕ̈ܘܬܐ̣ ܫ̇ܘܐ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܝܣܚܩ ܪܝܫ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܐܘܪ̈ܛܝܐ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܦܠܚ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܗ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣܝܒܘܬܗ. ܗ̣ܘ ܢܫܘܝܘܗܝ ܒܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܠܗ̇ܝ ܒܪܬ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ̇. ܕܬܘ ܒܪ̈ܝܟܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܝ. ܐܝܪܬܘ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܏ܘܫ.

- Under this there was a note, now almost obliterated, identical in purport with the second note on fol. 63b. It begins:

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ [ܕܡܪܩܘܣ] ܕܣܝܥܝܕ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܕܒܫܡ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܢܨܝܒܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ. ܏ܘܫ.

- On fol. 64 b there is a note, apparently of the ixth cent., written by a priest named Abraham, stating that he gave this volume to a congregation ܟܢܘܫܝܐ of monks, the name of which has been purposely effaced.

ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܝܗ̣ܒ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܪܩܘܣ. . . ܐܒܪܗܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ. ܚܠܦ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܚ̈ܝܘܗܝ̣ ܘܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܕܟܠ ܥܢܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܫܡܗ ܩܕܝܫܐ: ܘܡܛܠ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ̣. ܝܨܦ ܘܣܡ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܠܩܪܝܢܐ ܘܠܗܓܝܢܐ ܕܐܚ̈ܐ̣. ܗ̣ܘ ܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܕܢܫܟܚ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܐ܇ ܡܐ ܕܡܬܓܠܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܒܫܘܒܚܗ.. ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫ̈ܐ. ܘܠܥܢܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܘܟܪܢܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ.. ܐܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ.. ܘܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܫܩ̇ܠ ܠܗ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ: ܐܝܟ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ: ܐܘ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܡܢܗ: ܐܘ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܦܘܪ̈ܣܝܢ: ܘܟܐܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܦܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܟܢܘܫܝܐ. . . ܬܚܝܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ܀

- Above this there is written in a ruder and more modern hand:

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܒܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪܪܝܝܐ ܢܣܒ (?)ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܬܚܬ ܦܣܩ ܐܝܬܘ.

- On the margin of fol. 60b someone has written Ps. liv. 1 and Ps. xxvii. 9.

- Some of the lessons have been marked by later hands.

6th century, before AD 583 before AG 894
