[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.]

- This volume was apparently intended to be used as a Choir-book, for the letters ܐ and ܒ on the margins seem to designate the divisions of the choir.

- Colophon

On fol. 136 a there is a note, informing us that it was written in the year 1603, A.D. 1292, by one John, for the convent of S. Mary Deipara in the desert of Scete.

- On fol. 136 b there are two notes, the older of which was written by an oriental monk from the convent of Mār Gabriel at Beth-Severīnā in Tūr-'Abdīn, who repaired and re-bound the volume in the year 1803, A.D. 1492.

ܐܬܚ̇ܕܬܘ ܒܠܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܟܬܒ̈ܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܩ̈ܝܛܝܐ ܘܐܬܣ̣ܪܘ [ܬܢـ]ـܝܢܝܘܬ ܒܫܢܬ ܏ܐܦܓ ܕܝܘܢ. ܒܐܝ̈ܕܝ ܐܢܫ ܚܛܝܐ. ܒܒܥܘ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܚܐ ܪܚ̇ܡ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܦܓ݁ܥ ܗܪܟܐ. ܘܢܨܠܐ ܒ̈ܟܬܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ. ܢܐܡܪ. ܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܣܐ ܘܢܫܒܘܩ ܒܪ̈ܚܡ܏ܘ ܚ̈ܛܗܘܝ ܕܚܛܝܐ ܕܐܠܝܻ ܘܚܲܕܬ. ܘܕܒܪ ܐ܏ܚܘ ܘܥܢܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ. ܘܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܫܡ ܡܕܢܚ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܣܒܝܪܢܐ ܕܒܛܘܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ. ܒܢ̈ܝ ܬܘܠܡܕ ܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܓܒܪܐܝܠ ܒܗ ܒܐܬܪܐ.

- The other note was written by the deacon Mansūr bar Abraham Arīkā (or “the tall”), in the convent of S. Mary Deipara, in the year 1850, A.D. 1539.

- On fol. 1 a there is a note, written in Karshūnī, by a person who dusted, counted, and arranged the books belonging to the convent of S. Mary Deipara, in the year 1935, A.D. 1624. The library then consisted of 403 volumes. If the writing on the margin be by the same hand, the name of this person was Thomas, a priest, from the town of Māridīn.
