Title: ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܡܦܪܫܐ ܡܬܝ *
Title: ܕܡܬܝ
Title: ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ. ܕܡܬܝ
- *There is a hole in the vellum, caused by damp, which has destroyed the greater part of the ܐ in ܕܡܦܪܫܐ but it is certain that there is no room for a ܕ before ܡܬܝ. Whether there was a point after ܕܡܦܪܫܐ, as well as after ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ We cannot now say (see the facsimile in Land's Anecdota Syriaca, tom., i., tab. B.) On the probable meaning of the word ܡܦܪܫܐ, see Gildemeister in the Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft Bd xiii, p. 472; the same writer in his work entitled "De Evangeliis in Arabicum e Simplici Syriaca translatis Commentatio Academica" (Bonn, 1865), p. 10, note 1; Hermansen, in his "Disputatio do codice Evangeliorum Syriaco, a Curetono typis descripto" (Copenhagen 1858), p. 30; and the note to no. clxviii of this catalogue. Compare also Lehire, "Etude sur une ancienne version syriaque des Évangiles" (Paris, 1859); the Journal of Sacred Literature, 3rd series, vol. viii. (1859), pp. 140, 216, 407, 461, vol. x. (1860), pp. 154 and 377; Smith's Dictionary of the Bible, t. iii. pp. 1632—35, art. Versions, Ancient (Syriac); and De Lagarde, Abhandlungen, 1866, p. 91.
- From ch. xxiii. 25 to the end is missing; and from ch. viii. 23 to x. 31 is a comparatively modern addition, exhibiting the ordinary Peshitta version.

- The missing portions of the text are: ch. i. 42—iii. 5, vii. 38—xiv. 10, xiv. 12—15, 19—21, 23—26, and xiv. 29 to the end.
