Additions
N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
Addition 1 (Fol. 88b):
A note on fol. 88 b informs us that this manuscript was written in the Thebaid
of Egypt, by a Mesopotamian monk named Aaron, a native of Dārā, A. Gr. 1134
(A.D. 823), when Jacob was patriarch of Alexandria. According to Renaudot,
Hist. Patr. Jacob. Alexandria., p. 271, and Le Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii., col.
464, Jacob was not consecrated patriarch till A.D. 826.

Addition 2 (Fol. 88b):
In another note on the same page we are told that this volume was presented,
with nine others, to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by Isaac, Daniel and
Solomon, monks of the Syrian convent of Mār Jonah in the district of Marīs (مَرِّيسَة) or
Mareia, when Cosmas II.
See Renaudot, Hist. Patr. Jacob. Alesandr., p. 295; Le
Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii., col. 469. was patriarch of Alexandria and John
III.
See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., p. 348; Le Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii.,
col. 1374. of Antioch (consequently between A.D. 851 and 859).

This manuscript contains: Ephrem. Works of Ephraim. In total, including sub-sections, this manuscript contains 4 items.
Physical Description
Vellum, about 10 3/4 in. by 8 5/8. This volume is palimpsest throughout (see Add MS 14,623, upper text ), and the miserable monk Aaron deserves the execration of every theologian and Syriac scholar, for having destroyed a manuscript of the vith cent., written in three columns, containing works of Ephraim, some of which are as yet unedited. Fortunately a portion of it (nineteen leaves) escaped his ruthless hands, and now forms a part of Add. 14,574 (see no. DXXXV .).
