Notes:
- Eugenius was a native of Clysma,ܩܠܘܙܡܐ. He left Egypt with 70 disciples, and went to Nisibis, where he settled on the river Mascas,ܢܗ̣ܪ ܡܫܟ, to the south of the city,fol. 261 a. He assisted at the consecration of Jacob as bishop of Nisibis, and was there when the city was unsuccessfully besieged by the Persians. A letter of the emperor Constantine, quoted on fol. 267 b, speaks of him, Antony, and a third ascetic named ܐܝܠܘܢ, in the following terms ܬ̈ܠܬܐ ܩܢܘ̈ܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ ܒܗ̇ ܒܒܪܝܬܐ̇. ܘܐܝܟ ܥܲܡܘ̈ܕܐ ܐܩ̣ܝܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܢ ܒܐܪ̈ܒܥ ܦܢܝ̈ܬܐ̇. ܟܕ ܢ̇ܗܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܙܠܝܩ̈ܐ ܫܡ̈ܝܢܐ ܕܕܢܚ̣ܘ ܒܐܢܫܘܬܢ̇. ܘܡ̇ܢܗܪܝܢ ܠܪ̈ܥܝܢܐ ܚܫܘ̈ܟܐ̇. ܘܫ. ܒܗܠܝܢ ܬ̈ܠܬܐ ܐ̈ܓܘܢܝܣܛܐ̣ ܡܢ ܙ̇ܒ̣ܢܐ ܡܦ݁ܣܐ̣ ܒܗܘܢ ܡ̇ܠ̣ܟܘܬܢ܀ ܐܢܛܘܢܝܘܣ̣ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ܀ ܘܐܝܠܘܢ̣ ܒܣܦܪ ܝ̇ܡ̣ܐ܀ ܘܡܪܝ ܐܘܓܝܢ ܕܫ̇ܢܝ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܬ݂ܐ ܥܡ̣ܪ ܒܦܢ̣ܝܬܟܘܢ̣ ܘܐܢ̣ܗܪܗ̇܀ ܘܫ. He lived through the reign of Julian the Apostate,fol. 273 a, and had an interview with Jovinian or Jovian,fol. 273 b. When Nisibis was surrendered to the Persians,A.D. 363, he and his disciples were kindly treated by Sapor,fol. 274 a, who bestowed on them by deed a village called ܗ̣ܢܕܓܝܢ, with the mill ܪܚܝ̣ܐ, that was near it,fol. 275 a. Eugenius appears to have died soon after, though the precise date of his death is not recorded.

Note:
Behnām was the son of Sennacherib, king of Assyria(
ܢܚܝܪܝܒ ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܐܬܘܪ
), and was converted to Christianity, with his sister Sarah(
ܣܪܐ
), by Matthew(
ܡܐܬܝ
), who had taken refuge on a mountain near Nineveh from the persecution of Julian the Apostate. The brother and sister were put to death by the king their father, who afterwards himself became a Christian, and bestowed many favours on Matthew, for whom he built the great monastery on the mountain afterwards called Ṭur Elpheph, from the thousands of monks who resorted to it:ܘܡܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܡܒ̈ܥܕܐ ܡܬܟ݁ܢܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐ̇ܬܝܢ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܥ̇ܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܒܛ̣ܘܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ܆ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܣܓ̣ܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܛ̣ܘܪܐ. ܘܣܠ̣ܩܘ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ ܕܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ̇܆ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܒ̈ܥܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ. ܟܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܫܩ̈ܝܦܐ ܥ̇ܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ. ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܥܪ̈ܐ. ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܒ̇ܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܪܘ̈ܣܝܬܐ ܐܘܟܝܬ ܛܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ̈ܝܢ. ܘܡܢ ܥܠ̣ܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܩ̣ܪܝܛ̣ܘܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܠܦ̣ܦܐܘܟܝܬ ܕܐ̈ܠܦܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ.
Matthew was succeeded by Zacchaeus(
ܙ̇ܟ̣ܝ
), , during whose time, under the direction of his δευτεράριος, (ܬܪܝܢܐ),Abraham, the mother of Behnām erected the monastery afterwards called the monastery of Abraham, or of
ܟܘ̈ܟܝܬܐ
, from the name of the spot where it stood and also the monastery of Beth-Gubbā(
ܕܝܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܓܘܒܐ
), where the relics of Behnām and Sarah were deposited.
Item 76 (Fol. 411b): Life of Jacob the Egyptian recluse
Title: ܬܘܒ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܢܨ̈ܚܢܘܗܝ ܕܩܕ ܡܪܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܡܕܒܪܝܐ ܘܡܨܪܝܐ ܘܚܒܝܫܝܐ.
Title: ܬܘܒ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܢܨ̈ܚܢܘܗܝ ܕܩܕ ܡܪܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܡܕܒܪܝܐ ܘܡܨܪܝܐ ܘܚܒܝܫܝܐ.
Note: He was one of five monks, who, in the time of Julian the Apostate, occupied a small convent at one of the gates of Alexandria, ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܝܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܝܪܐ ܚܕܐ ܙܥܘܪܬܐ. ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ̇ ܚܡ̈ܫܐ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܝܚܝ̈ܕܝܐ. ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܛܘܒܢܐ. ܘܡܪܩܘܣ ܘܐܠܝܫܥ ܘܝܘܣܦ ܘܐܫܥܝܐ.
They took refuge in a town in the desert, built by a recluse named Gabriel, and called
ܒܘܪܓܐ ܕܚܒ̈ܝܫܐ
. Here Jacob left the others, and was led by the spirit to Tarsus(fol. 416a). Hence he wandered, with a youth Antonius, to Amid(
ܐܡܝܕ
), where he cured the son of the governor Anthimus(
ܐܢܬܝܡܘܣ
), a relative of the emperor Theodosius. Here he made the acquaintance of an abbat of Ṭur-'Abdin named Bar-shabbā(
ܒܪܫ̇ܒ̣ܐ
), who persuaded him to go with him to Ḥiṣn Kīfā(
ܚܣܢܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ
), where Rufus(
ܪܘܦܘܣ
), the brother of Anthimus, was governor. Having received the blessing of Sergius, the metropolitan, they departed, and travelled as far as a village called
ܩ̣ܢ ܥܘܪܒܐ
, where they were joined by a youth named Hālā(
ܚܳܠܐܳ
), and where Antonius died suddenly. At another village they were hospitably received by a man named Ḥabib(
ܚܒܝܒ
), whose son Daniel was cured by Jacob. Accompanied by this boy, they reached Ḥiṣn Kīfā, where Benjamin was bishop. After residing here two months, they were captured by Shamir(
ܫܡܝܪ
), the Persian general, and Bar-shabbā suffered martyrdom, with ten of his disciples,fol. 419a. Immediately afterwards the Persian army was dispersed and destroyed by a hailstorm and earthquake, and the Persians never ventured to invade that district again. Jacob built here a small convent, which he called
ܕܝܪܐ ܕܚܒܝܫܐ
, or the Convent of the Recluse, and in it he continued to reside, attended by his disciple Daniel (for Ḥālā resided in a convent of his own,fol. 422b), till he died, on the 20th of Īlūl, A. Gr. 732, A.D. 421
. Regarding Amid, Ṭur-'Abdin, and the adjacent districts, we read:ܐܡܝܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܕ ܒܢܗ̇ ܩܘܣܛܢܛܝܢܘܣ ܡ̇ܠ̣ܟܐ: ܒܪܗ ܕܩܘܣܛܢܛܝܢܘܣ ܪܒܐ̣. ܐܚ̣ܒܗ̇ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܘܚܕܢܗ. ܘܫ̇ܥ̣ܒܕ ܠܗ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ܆ ܡܢ ܪܝܫܥܝܢܐ̣ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܢܨܝܒܝܢ. ܘܐܦ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܡܝܦܪܩܛ ܘܕܐܪܙܢ̇ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܩܪܕܘ. ܡܛܠ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ̣. ܥܠ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܣܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ. ܘܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܣ̇ܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝ̣ܣ̈ܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܣܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܗܠܝ̣ܢ. ܘܫ̇ܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ̇ ܛܘܪܥܒܕܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܪܐ̣ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ. ܘܥܒ̣ܕ ܒܗ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܚܣ̣̈ܢܐ ܪܘܪ̈ܒܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܫܘܘܙܒܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ̣ ܡܢ ܓܝ̣ܣ̈ܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܣܝܐ. ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܢ̣ܐ ܥܠ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܥܪ̈ܒܝܐ ܒܓܒܝܢܗ ܕܛ̣ܘܪܐ. ܘܒܢ̣ܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܕܩܠܬ ܢܗܪܐ̣. ܘܫܡܗܗ ܚܣܢܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ. ܘܥܒ̣ܕܗ ܪܝܫ ܩܠܝܡܐ ܕܐܬܪܐ ܕܐܪܙܢ̇ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܐܪܙܢ ܒܗ̇ ܒܐܡܝܕ݂ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܡܬܩ̣ܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܫ̇ܒ̣ܐ. ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܫܘܪܓܝܢ. ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܗ̇܆ ܥܣܪ̈ܐ ܬܠܡ̈ܝܕܐ. ܘܫ.

Title: ܬܘܒ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܢܨ̇ܝܚ ܫܘܦܪ̈ܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܪܝ ܛܠܝܐ. ܨܠܘܬܗ ܥܡܢ.
Note: He was the son of two citizens of Cyrus(
ܩܘܪܘܣ
), named Sabellius(
ܣܒܠܝܐ
), and Sapphira(
ܫܦܝܪܐ
), and was born about A. Gr. 732, A.D. 421
. A voice from heaven announced that at the age of two years he would confute the heathen kings and destroy their idols:ܫܒܪܐ ܕܡܬܝ̣ܠܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ܆ ܢ݁ܰܟ̣ܣ ܠܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܥܲܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܢܣ̣ܚܘܦ ܠܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ̣ ܘܢܬܩ̣ܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܛܠܝܐ.
This rumour spreading abroad, the child was brought before Alexander, the governor of Byblos or Jubail(
ܓܷܒܠܷܝܗ̇ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܥܠ ܣܦ̇ܪ ܝ̇ܰܡ̣ܐ
), who put both him and his parents to death.

Note: See the Acta Sanctorum for October., t. v., p. 566.
Item 80 (Fol. 438a): Discourse, ascribed to Josephus, on Eleazar, Shamūnī, and her seven sons, generally known as "the fourth book of the Maccabees"The Fourth Book of the Maccabees

Title: ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܝܘܣܝܦܘܣ ܚܟܝܡܐ. ܕܡܟ̣ܬܒ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܐܠܝܥܙܪ݂. ܘܫܡܘܢܝ ܘܒ̈ܢܝܗ̇.
Notes:
- Two portions of the text are missing, viz. ch. x. 1—ch. xii. 11, and ch. xiv. 15—ch. xviii. 11.
- Wright's attribution of 4 Maccabees to Josephus represents an ancient Christian tradition which has now been rejected by most scholars on stylistic grounds.
- It is not clear here which version of 4 Maccabees this texts contains.
Item 81 (Fol. 445a): History of Thecla, the betrothed of Thamyris, and the disciple of S. Paul

Additions
Addition 1 (Fol. 452b):
On fol. 452 b there are two notes, both in the handwriting of the scribe. The first is an attestation by Michael the Great, patriarch of Antioch (A. Gr. 1478—1511), that this book was written at the expense of the deacon #Saliba, of the monastery of Bar-ṣauma at Melitene
(see Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., Dissert. de Monophys., art. ix., monast. Barsumae), to be deposited in the library of that convent, in the year of the Greeks, 1508, A.D. 1197.

Addition 2 (Fol. 452b):
On fol. 452 b there are two notes, both in the handwriting of the scribe. The second note states that the book was written by a monk named Joseph, a cousin of the above mentioned #Saliba, resident at the time in the convent of Abu Ghalib (ܐܒܘܓܠܒ), whence he was summoned for the purpose.
