- Vellum, 10 1/8 in. by 7 3/4, consisting of 165 leaves, some of which are slightly stained and soiled. The quires, signed with letters (on the last leaf of each), were originally 22 in number, but the first is now lost. Each page is divided into two columns, of about 21 lines.

This volume is written in a good, regular hand of the xith cent.

See additions.

[N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.]

- Colophon

At the end of the lesson on the Feast of Nativity are written the words, "Lord, remember the humble scribe John at the resurrection."

ܐܬܕܟܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܬܘܒܘܢܐ ܏ܒܩ

- The inscription about the scribe John is followed by six verses in heptasyllabic metre.

ܪܝܫܐ ܕܪܟܲܢ ܒܟ̈ܬ݀ܒܝܟ. ܢܬܪܡܪܡ ܒܝܘܡ ܡ̇ܬܝܬܟ. ܘܥ̈ܝܢܐ ܕܬܪ̈ܨܝ ܦܬܓܡ̈ܝ̣ܟ. ܢܬܦܫ̣̈ܛܢ ܠܘܬ ܫܘܒܩܢܐ. ܘܐܝ̈ܕܝܐ ܕܪܫܡܝ̣ ܡܐܡܪ̈ܝܟ. ܢܚ̈ܙܝܢ ܫܘܒ̣ܚܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܟ

- Below the six verses in heptasyllabic metre we read the following words "Lord, remember the priest John, the owner of the book."

ܐܬܕܟܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܏ܩܫ ܩܢܝܐ ܏ܕܟܬ

- Doxology

On fol. 162 a, at the foot of the second column, we read these words.

ܡܛܝܢܢ ܠܪܝܫ ܡܣܩܬܐ ܒܟܬܝܒܬܐ ܒܥܘܕܪܢ ܐܠܗܐ. ܫܘܒ̣ܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܥܲܕܪ ܡܚܝܠܘܬܝ

- Colophon

On foll. 162 b and 163 a there is a succession of notes, all in the same handwriting, informing us that this lectionary was written in the convent of Panteleêmon, generally called the convent of Elias the Prophet, situated in the province of Seleucia, on the Black Mountain [See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii, p. 350.] named the Boar's Head; that the scribe's name was John, the son of Joseph, who wrote it for another John, a priest of the church of Elias at Antioch ; and that it was translated into Syriac from an accurate Greek copy in the year 1334, A.D. 1023.

- On fol. 163 a, in the second column, we find the autograph of Athanasius, bishop of Kāra (a town between Hims and Damascus), with the date A.M. 6644, A.D. 1136: “Lord, remember thy servant Athanasius the monk, by the mercy of God bishop of Kāra . Pray for me for the Lord's sake, whosoever may read this. Written on the sixteenth (?) day of the month of March in the year 6644, indiction XIV.”

- Next follow, fol. 163 a, lessons from the Gospels for Palm Sunday and for the Sundays from Easter to Whitsun Day, written apparently by Michael, bishop of Kara , who has added, on fol. 164 b, a list of his predecessors in that see, viz. Christopher, Stephen, Jacob, Luke, Simon, Leontius, Simeon, Sergius, Joseph, and the above mentioned Athanasius.

- Fol. 165 is a torn leaf, which formed part of the original binding of the manuscript. It contains a notice in Arabic of the decease of the priest Yahyā or Yuhannā, the son of Peter, the son of David, in the year 1528, A.D. 1217. The writing is much faded, so that some words are barely legible.
