Additions

Addition 1 (Fol. 39a): On fol. 39 a there is a long note, of which, unfortunately, the most important part has been erased, and various words altered. The offender in this case was the abbat Moses of Nisibis (A.D. 932), who states that the book was procured by him, for the convent of S. Mary Deipara, from the monks Mārūthā, Athanasius and Marcus. ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܢܟ̈ܦܐ ܘܡܝܬܪ̈ܐ ܘܪ̈ܚܡܝ (originally ܕܢܟܦܐ ܘܡܝܬܪܐ ܘܪܚ̇ܡ) ܠܡܫܝܚܐ [ܡܪܘܬܐ (orig. ܡܪܝ) ܘܐܬܢܣ ܘܡܪܩܘܣ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܟ̈ܚܝܕܐ. ܩܢܝܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܢܨܝܒܢܝܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܣܐ ܠܗ ܘܠܟܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܗ ܘܚܪܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܡܘܒܕ ܐܘ ܡܫܓܢܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ] ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܫܡܗ ܩܕܝܫܐ. ܐܬܚܦܛܘܢ ܘܐܠܐܘܢ ܘܣ̣ܡܘܢ (orig. ܘܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܐܠܐܝ ܘܣܡ) ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܗ̣ܘ ܢܫܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ (orig. ܢܫܘܝܘܗܝ) ܠܗ̇ܝ ܒܪܬ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ .. ܕܬܘ ܥܘܠܘ ܒܪ̈ܝܟܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܝ ܏ܘܫ ܘܠܥܢ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ (orig. ܘܠܥܢܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ) ܢܥ̣ܒܕ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛ̇ܒܐ ܒܨ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܢ (sic) ܀ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫ̇ܩܠ ܠܗ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܐܘ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܡܢܗ ܐܘ ܕܢܦܚܡ ܡܢܗ ܐܘ ܒܐܝ̇ܕܐ ܕܗ̣ܝ ܥܠܬܐ ܘܟܐ̇ܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܚܝܬ ܚܪܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܡ̇ܦܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܕܐܡܝܪܐ (orig. ܠܡܪܗ ܕܐܡܝܪ) ܘܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܩܛ̇ܥ ܐܘ ܓ̇ܪܕ ܐܘ ܠܚܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܢܬܐ ܥܡ ܡܚ̈ܠܨܝ (orig. ܡܚܨ̈ܝ) ܒܝܬ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܥܡ ܝܗ̈ܘܕܝܐ ܕܨܠܒܘ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܠܟܪܝܣܛܝܢܐ ܣ̈ܦܩܢ
