Additions
Addition 1 (Fol. 140b):
The original colophon on fol. 140b has been purposely erased, but enough is still legible to let us see that the manuscript was written by one Abraham, from the convent of Eusebius at ܟܦܪܐ ܕܒܪܬܐ.
. . . ܡܪܝ ܐܘܣܒ ܕܟܦܪܐ ܕܒܪܬܐ. ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܪܗܡܕ . . ـܙܝܐ
ܐܠܗܐ . . .
Addition 2 (Fol. 140b):
In place of the original colophon we now read a note stating that the book belonged to Isaac bar Abraham bar Dīnārā of Tagrīt:
ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ. ܠܐܝܣܚܩ ܒܪ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܪ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܬܓܪܬܢܝܐ ܕܩܢܝܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܩܢܘܡܗ. ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܫ̇ܩܠ ܠܗ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܘܫ.
Between the columns, the said Isaac has added a few words to say that he presented it to the convent of S. Mary Deipara, by the hands of the abbat Moses of Nisibis:
ܘܫܟܢܗ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ [ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ] ܕܐܣܩܛܝ ܒܐܝ̈ܕܝ ܡـ[ـܘܫܐ] ܢܨܝܒܢܝܐ . . . ܥܠܘ ܢܗܘ . . .
Addition 3 (Fol. 141a):
On fol. 141a we find the usual note by Moses of Nisibis:
ܘܟܠ ܕܠܚܐ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܓܪܕ ܠܗ. ܐܘ ܦܣܩ ܠܗ ܐܘ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܦܩܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܢܘܒܕܝܘ ܡܚܪܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ. ܩܢܝܗܝ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܕܡܬܕܠܠ ܢܨܝܒܢܝܐ ܥܡ ܡܬܝܢ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܕܣܘܓܗܘܢ ܙܒܝܢܬܐ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ̈ܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܣܐ ܠܗ ܘܠܥ̈ܢܝܕ ܘܠܟܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܗܘܢ.
Addition 4 (Fol. 141b):
On fol. 141b there are three lines of barbarous Greek, now partly effaced, which run nearly as follows:
Ο ΜΟΝ ΘΕ ΡΕ. ΠΟΛΟ ΟΔΕ ΕΡΓΑΤΕ ΟΠ.. ΔΕΕΘΗΤΕ ΤΟΥ ΚΟΥΡΗΟ ΤΟΕΕ.. ΟΠΟⲤ ΕΚΑΛΗ ΕΡΓΑΤ......
