Additions
N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 2a):
A note on fol. 2 a, now much effaced, in a current hand of about the
ixth cent., states that the volume was presented by certain persons
unnamed to the convent of S. Mary Deipara.
ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܗ̣ܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܠܢ. ܝܕܥ ܠܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ
ܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ. ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ. ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ
ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܐ ܕܒܡܨܪܝܢ
Addition 2 (Fol. 1a):
Another note of not much later date, on fol. 1 a, records the fact of
its belonging to the convent.
Addition 3 (Fol. 1a):
The manuscript must, however, have been purloined
soon after, since we learn from a second note on fol. 1 a that it was
restored by one Melchizedek, who had got it as a present from the monk
Jacob of Samosata.
ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܩܢܐ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ.
ܐܫܬܟܢ ܠܗ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܡܢ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܕܝܪܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܫܛ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܫܟܢܗ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ

ܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܚܣܐ ܚܘܒ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ.
Addition 4 (Fol. 216a):
Lastly, there is a note on fol. 216 a, seemingly of the same date as
that immediately preceding, which states that the book belonged to the
convent of S. Mary Deipara.
ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܝܪܝܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ
ܕܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܐ. ܟܠ ܕܐܟܐܡ (sic) ܥܠ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܫܢܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ

ܐܡܝܢ.
