N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1:
Quires are now numbered with letters.
Addition 2 (Fol. 60a):
Long note stating that this manuscript was written in the year 910, and collated with another copy of the school of the Armenians. The names of the man at whose expense it was transcribed, and of the convent to which he gave it, were altered by the hand of a person from the village of Kěphar-Darīn, who added a few lines, informing us that the manuscript was incorporated with the library of the convent of Mār Daniel at Kěphar-Bīl ܕܟܣ̈ܝܗ (?), near Antioch, when Thomas was abbat, the priest Simeon his deputy, and the priest Moses librarian. The name of this man has in turn been erased by one Yazdīn bar Dūmā (?).

Addition 3 (Fol. 59b):
A more recent note, on fol.59b, records that Pāpā bar Dūmā of Tagrīt (Tecrit) presented this book to the convent of S. Mary Deipara, by the hands of Matthew and Abraham of Tagrīt.
The latter part of this note, from ܒܡܬܚܦܛܢܘܬܐ to the end, is in a different hand from the former part.
