Addition 1 (Fol. 101a): At the end of the extract from a letter of John Chrysostom to Theodore, fol. 101 a, the scribe has written: ܗܠܝܢ ܣ̈ܦܩܢ ܠܚ̈ܛܝܐ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܟܘܬܝ
Addition 2 (Fol. 130a): A note on fol. 130 a states that the book belonged to a monk (his name has been erased, and that of Zachariah the son of John substituted), who directs that it should be sold after his death, and the proceeds divided among the monks of his convent, that they might remember him in their prayers. ܐܝܨܦ ܕܝܢ ܘܩܢ̣ܐ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܬܐ ܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ ܏ܙܟܪܝܐ ܒܪ ܏ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܙܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ. ܘܡܢ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܕܡܛܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܒ̈ܗܘܗܝ. ܐܝܟ ܕܠܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ̣. ܏ܘܫ. ܘܒܬܪ ܥܘܢܕܢܗ ܢܗܘܐ ܕܡ̇ܙܕܒܢ ܘܢܬ̇ܦܠܓ ܛܝ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܒ̈ܗܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܝܪܐ. ܕܢܬܥܗܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܨ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ. ܘܟܠ ܕܠܚ̇ܐ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܢܫ̇ܚܠܦ. ܢܕܥ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܚܪܡܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ܀
Addition 3 (Fol. 130a): To the end of this note a subsequent possessor, named Moses, has appended the words: ܐܚ̈ܝ ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ ܢ̇ܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܚܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܢ̇ܬܚܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܝܣܐ ܕܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ.
Addition 4 (Fol. 130a): On the margin of fol. 130 a, there is a note stating that the above-mentioned Moses presented this manuscript to the convent of S. Mary Deipara, by the hands of the abbat Moses of Nisibis, A.D. 932. The place called ܐܪܕܘܠ is probably Arduwāl, أَرْدُوَال, a small town not far from Wāsiṭ; compare Yākūt, Mu'jam al-Buldān, بُلَيْدة صَغِيرة بين واسِط والجَبَل وبلادِ خُوزِستان،. ܫܟܢܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܗ̣ܘ ܡܘܫܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܪܕܘܠ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܐ ܥܠ ܐܝ̈ܕܝ ܡܘܫܐ ܢܨܝܒܝܢܝܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ. ܏ܘܫ.
