- In Dr. Payne Smith’s Catalogue of the Syriac MSS. In the Bodleian Library, col. 431, no. 3, this discourse is ascribed to Ananias Xenaias, or Ignatius XI, patriarch of the Jacobites, A.D. 1484-1493 (see Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., pp. 386, 468); but the present mauscript seems to belong to the previous century.
- It is composed in the metre of Jacob of Batnae.
