Additions
N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
Addition 1 (Fol. 272b):
A note on fol. 272b informs us that this manuscript was written at the expense
of a monk named Abba Simon, the son of Abraham, from Maipherkat or Maiyāfārikin

Addition 2 (Fol. 273a):
Another note, on fol. 273a, states that it was written in the year 1367, A.D.
1056, in the monastery of Elias, on the Black mountain (near Antioch), by the priest Peter,
otherwise called Polycarp, the son of Joseph.

Addition 3 (Fol. 273a):
On fol. 273a there is also the following note, in an Arabic hand of about the
xiiith cent., stating that the book was purchased by the deacon Surūr, at the
village called Minyat Ziftā near Cairo. Most of the diacritical, and all the other points,
are wanting in the manuscript.
بسم الاب والابن وروح القدس اله واحد اشتراه سُرور في ىهبه (نهبة) النصاري بمنية زِفتَى
ارحَمْ يا ربّ عبدك الشمّاس سروربن الشمّاس عبد المسيح بن جرجس بن سعيد بن حواق (sic) العادودي (العابودي) وارحمْ كلَّ جنسه من ما (sic) تقدَّم وممَّن تأخَّر برحمة منك يا أَرْحَمَ الراحمين ويا غافَر كلّ من أَخْطَأَ بنعمة
منك وارحَمِ المومنين بالمسيح الأُرْتُطُكْسين بشفاعةِ دارِ كلّ مدحة وقدس وطهارة امين
امين
Addition 4:
This Surūr was a native of Palestine, for on fol. 305b he has written in the
Palestinian character (see Land, Anecd. Syr., t. i., tab. xviii
) the words: "These are Syro-Edessene canons, which were purchased by the deacon Surur, son of the deacon 'Abd al-Masīh. May God have mercy on both his parents. Amen.—Syro- Edessene canons for every day
throughout the year."
هذه قونين (قوانين) سُرْياني رُهَوي اشتراهر اشماس (الشمّاس) سرور ابن اشماس (الشمّاس)
عبد المسيح اله (الله) يرحم والدَيْه جميعًا امين قوانين سورياني وهوي لكول (لكلّ) يوم
طول اسنه (السَّنَه)
Addition 5:
Underneath he has once more written his name in Greek letters:
σουρουρ
