Additions

N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 135a): A note on fol. 135a, in a more cursive character, states that this manuscript was written for the recluse Sha'dūn, residing near the village of ܡܬܢ, in the province of Bostra, A. Gr. 915=A.D. 604, who gave for it the sum of 4 dīnārs, minus 3 carats. ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܥܒܕ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝ ܫܥܕܘܢ ܚܒܝܫܐ ܕܒܟܘܪܐ ܕܒܘܨܪܐ ܕܥܡܪ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܝܠܗ. ܐܬܟܬܒ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܢܬ ܬܫܥܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܥܣܪܐ ܕܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܒܐܝܪܚ ܬܡܘܙ ܒܚܡܫܬܥܪ ܒܗ ܒܝܪܚܐ. ܐܙܕܒܢ ܕܝܢ ܛ̈ܝܡܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܝܢܪ̈ܐ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܐ ܒܨܝܪ ܩܪ̈ܛܐ ܬܠܬܐ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܫܡܗ ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܙܒܢ ܏ܘܫ.
Addition 2 (Fol. 135a): Another note, written in a rather inelegant Estrangela, informs us that the book belonged to the convent of the blessed Shu'aidūn and of John the recluse, who came after him, which is situated on the hill of ܗܓܢ east of ܡܬܢ Castra. ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܛܘܒܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܫܘܥܝܕܘܢ ܘܕܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܚܒܝܫܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܬܝܗ̇ ܒܗܓܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܡܕܢ̈ܚܝ ܡܬܢ ܩܨܛܪܐ. ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܗ . . .
Addition 3 (Fol. 135a): Just below this we read, in a different hand: ܚܢܢ ܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܐܝܬܝܢ. ܘܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܢ. ܗܐ ܚܨܪܗ ܪܒܬܐ. ܕܦ̇ܝܫ̣ܝܢܢ ܒ̈ܛܝܠܐ. ܚܙܝ. We books are many, but there is no one who reads us. O what a great pity (?) that we remain unused!
Addition 4 (Fol. 1a): The note on fol. 1a tells us that this was one of the volumes brought to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis, A. Gr. 1243, A.D. 932. Under it are the letters H. PP.
Addition 5 (Fol. 135b): On fol. 135 b a monk named Sergius has written: ܐܘ ܐܚܘܢ ܕܦ̇ܓܥ ܒܟ݂ܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܨܲܠܐ ܥܠ ܣܪܓܝ̣ܣ ܚ̇ܛܝ̣ܐ ܒܒܥܘ
Addition 6 (Fol. 135b): At a still later period one Solomon and his brother have written: ܐ̇ܢܐ ܫܠܡܘܢ ܫܛܘܪܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܫܛܘܪ ܡܢܗ. ܐܠܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܒܥܘ. ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܘܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܟ.
Addition 7 (Fol. 1b): At the foot of fol. 47a a reader has written: ܐܢ̇ܐ ܐܢܫ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܐܝ̇ܬܝ ܝܘܡܢ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝ̇ܠܕܬ݀ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩܝܛܝ. ܘܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܠܝ. ܘܡܛܠܗܕܐ ܟ̇ܬܒܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܕܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ܀

Additions

N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 275b): Of the long note on fol. 275 b the first six or seven lines have been erased, and the following words substituted:ܣ̣ܡܘ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܙ̇ܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܝܘܣܦ ܘܬܐܘܕܘܪܘܣ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܏ܩ̈ܕ ܘܪ̈ܘܚܢܝܐ ܘܦܓܪ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܬܓܪܝܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܡܗܝ̈ܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܦ ܡܛܪܘܦܘܠܝܣ ܕܟܠܗ̇ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܏ܘܫ. Hence it appears that the volume belonged at one time to the three brothers, Abraham, Joseph, and Theodore, from the city of Tagrit(#Tekrit). The date, which was at the end of the note, has also been erased, so that nothing is legible but the word ܒܕܝ̈ܘܢܝܐ
