Contents
This manuscript contains 3 item(s) including nested subsections. N.B. Items were re-numbered for this online catalog and may not reflect William Wright's previous numeration.
Item 1 (Fol. 1a): Ephrem. A portion of the discourses of Ephraim against false doctrines, addressed to Hypatius. [defective]
Title: ܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ̣ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܘܦܛܝܣ ܕܣܝ̈ܡܢ ܥܠ ܐܬܘ̈ܬܐܠܘܩܒܠ ܝܘ̈ܠܦܢܐ ܛ̈ܥܝܐ.
Title: ܕܗܘܦܛܝܣ
Title: ܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ̣ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܘܦܛܝܣ ܕܣܝ̈ܡܢ ܥܠ ܐܬܘ̈ܬܐܠܘܩܒܠ ܝܘ̈ܠܦܢܐ ܛ̈ܥܝܐ.
Title: ܕܗܘܦܛܝܣ
Notes:
- The words ܕܣܝ̈ܡܢ ܥܠ ܐܬܘ̈ܬܐ would appear to imply that there were 22 of these discourses, each commencing with a letter of the alphabet, in the usual order, like those of Aphraates (Add. 14,619 and 17,182); but this seems unlikely, as the second discourse begins with the letter ܦ (ܦܪܘܫܐܝܬ). Besides, there is no mention of alphabetical arrangement in Add. 14,570.
- The rest of this manuscript still exists as a palimpsest in Add. 14,623
Item 2 (Fol. 1b): Ephrem. Part of a portion of the discourses of Ephraim against false doctrines, addressed
to Hypatius.
Title: ܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܠܗܘܦܛܝܣ ܐܚܝ ܒܡܪܢ̣ ܫܠܡ Subscription (Fol. 14b): ܫܠܡ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܘܦܛܝܣ
Title: ܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܠܗܘܦܛܝܣ ܐܚܝ ܒܡܪܢ̣ ܫܠܡ Subscription (Fol. 14b): ܫܠܡ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܘܦܛܝܣ
Item 3 (Fol. 15a): Ephrem. Part of a portion of the discourses of Ephraim against false doctrines, addressed
to Hypatius. [defective]
Title: ܕܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܘܦܛܝܣ ܘܡ̇ܢܝ ܘܡܪܩܝܘܢ ܘܒܪܕܝܨܢ
Title: ܕܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܘܦܛܝܣ ܘܡ̇ܢܝ ܘܡܪܩܝܘܢ ܘܒܪܕܝܨܢ
Note: Cf. Overbeck, p. 59.
Additions

Of the notes on fol. 1a, the upper one has been erased, and the other merely contains
one of the usual anathemas:

This manuscript contains 24 item(s) including nested subsections. N.B. Items were re-numbered for this online catalog and may not reflect William Wright's previous numeration.
Item 1 (Fol. 20): Ephrem. The metrical works of Ephraim, containing 160 discourses on the Church, the Mysteries
of our Lord, Virginity, and against Heresies [defective]
Title: ܕܥܠ ܥܕܬܐ, Subscription (Fol. 33b): ܫܠܡܘ ܡܕܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܝܘ̈ܠܦܢܐ ܛ̈ܥܝܐ܇ ܕܣܝܡܝܢ ܠܛܘܒܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ. ܕܗܘܝܢ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܚܡ ܫܝܢܘܫܬܐ.. Colophon: See additions.

Notes:
- These leaves are all that remain of a volume which once comprised a great part of the metrical works of Ephraim, and in which the madrāshē were numbered with arithmetical figures. From the mutilated colophon and the running title ܕܥܠ ܥܕܬܐ (fol.23 b), it appears that the manuscript originally contained 160 discourses on the Church, the Mysteries of our Lord, Virginity, and against Heresies
