Addition 2: Another note informs us that the book was written in the year 895, A.D. 584, in the convent of Gubbā Barrāyā ܓܘܒܐ ܒܪܝܐ See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., Dissert. de Monoph. art.

Addition 3 (Fol. 108a): From a note on fol. 108a we learn that it was purchased by the monks Marcus, Mārūthā and Athanasius of Rāsʾain, residing in the desert of Scete, in the year 1181, A.D. 870. ܒܫܦܝܪܘܬ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܛ̇ܒܐ: ܘܒܚܘܝܚܘܬ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܪܚܡ̇ܬ ܠܐܠܗܐ܇ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܏ܘܫ ܝ̣ܨܦܘ ܘܩܢ̣ܘ̇ ܣܡܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ̇. ܏ܘܫ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܢܟ̈ܦܐ ܘܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܟܢܝ̈ܟܐ: ܡܐܪܩܘܣ ܘܡܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܬܢܣ. ܕܡܢ ܪܝܫܥܝܢܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܛܠ ܫܡܗ܇ ܏ܘܫ. ܐܬܪܫ̣ܡ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ. ܫܢܬ ܐܠܦܐ ܘ܏ܩܦܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܣܩܝܛܐ.܀.
