Additions
N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 194b):
After the doxology, there follows a note, informing us that the manuscript was written by one Anastasius, at the expense of the priest Stephen, in the year 880, corresponding to the year 617 of the era of Antioch (A.D. 569), when Sergius was abbat of a convent, the name of which has been erased and that of Silas substituted.

Addition 2 (Fol. 143a):
The names of the seven sons of Shamūnī are written in a later hand on the margin of fol. 143 a as follows:
ܗ̇ܠܝܢ ܫ̈ܡܗ (sic) ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܫܡܘܢܝ܀ ܡ̇ܩ̣ܒܝ܀ ܬܪܣܝ܀ ܚܒܪܘ܀ ܚܒܨܘܢ܀ ܓܕܕ܀ ܝܘܢܕܒ܀ ܒܟܣ܀
Addition 3 (Fol. 194b):
On the same page, between the columns, there is a note in the handwriting of Michael the Great, patriarch of Antioch,
[See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., p. 363, Le Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii., col. 1389 dated
A. Gr. 1501, A.D. 1190.
Though it is now much effaced, enough can be read to show that he had it conveyed
from Egypt to Syria,
and deposited in the convent of Bar-saumā (at Antioch?)
