Notes:
- It is similar in its general character to Add. 12,138 , but much more closely resembling Add. 7183 (see Forshall and Rosen's Catalogue, no. XLII, p. 64, etc.), and the codex described by Wiseman in his Horae Syriacae, p. 149, etc.
- On these and similar manuscripts, see the treatise of M. l’Abbé Martin, “Tradition Karkaphienne, ou la Massore chez les Syriens,” in the Journal Asiatique for Oct.-Nov., 1869, no 54, p. 245.

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. 223a):
Colophon, fol. 223a.
ܫܠܡ ܠܡ̣ܟܬܒ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ. ܫ̈ܡܗܐ ܩܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܕܺܝܐܰܬܻܝ̈ܩܰܐܣ
ܬܪ̈ܬܝܗܝܢ. ܕܥܬܝܩܬܐ̣ ܘܕܚܕܬܐ. ♱ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗ̇܆ ܐܝܟ ܡܦܩܬܐ ܦܫܝܛܬܐ̣. ܘܐܝܟ ܡܦܩܬܐ
ܕܬܐܘܡܐ ܚܪܩܠܝܐ
Addition 2:
The marginal notes to The Book of the Vowel-points of the Holy Scriptures, which are mostly in the same handwriting as
the text, refer principally to various readings or different modes of
punctuation, more rarely to other matters. The various reading are usually
indicated by the word ܡܫܬܟܚ or ܘܡܫܬܟܚ, "and there is found," abbreviated ܡܫܬ or ܡܫـ; but
sometimes in other ways, e.g. ܒܨܚܚܐ (fol. 46a) or ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ (fol. 200b). Not a few are taken
from the Septuagint: ܒܕܫܒܥܝܢ (fol. 59b),ܕܫܒܥܝܢ, ܕܫ or ܫ; and one of
these is inserted in the text, Ps. xl. 6, fol.
58b, ܒ݁ܕ̣ܶܒ̣̈ܚܐܶ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܒܴ݁ܢܐ̣ܶ ܠܐ ܨ̣ܒܰܝ̣ܬ݁.
ܐܷܕ݂̈ܢܐܷ ܕ̣ܝ̣ܢ ܢܰܩܷ̇ܒ̤ܬ݁ ܠܝ. ܕܫܒܥܝܢ܀ ܦܓܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܰܩ̣ܶܢܬ ܠܝ:܀.
The Harklensian version is referred to by ܚܪܩܠܝܐ abbreviated ܚܪ, and
sometimes by ܬܐܘܡܐ (foll.
152a, 158b, 166b).The reading of the Karkaphensian doctors are also frequently
mentioned: ܩܪ̈ܩܦܝܐ (foll.
158a, 167b), abbreviated ܩܪ̈ܩ (fol. 152b), ܩܪ̈ (fol. 195a), and ܩ (fol. 6b); ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܩܪ̈ܩ ܐܡ̇ܪ or ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܩܪ̈ܩ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܗܘܐ (foll. 97b, 133a, 148a, 151b, 185a, 199b); ܘܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܗܘܐ with ܕܩܪ̈ܩܦܝܐ added by
the same hand (fol. 121b); and perhaps also ܘܚܕ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܗܘܐ (fol. 127a).One eminent teacher is constantly indicated by the word ܛܘܒܢܐ abbreviated ܛܘ. According to Wiseman, Rosen,
and Forshall, the word ܛܘܼܒܢܐ indicates the readings of the Peshitta; but it seems almost
certain that, like ܣܒܐ, it designates those
of some eminent Doctor, probably, as M. l’ Abbé Martin
has shown, of Jacob of
Edessa. These notes always relate to matter of orthography and
pronunciation; e.g. fol. 73b, text ܟ̣ܕ ܡ̈ܣܰܚܦܳܢ, marg.ܛܘܒܢܐ ܡܣܚܦ̣ܢ; fol. 94a, text ܪܰܒ ܡ̈ܰܠܳܚܐ̣ܶ, marg., ܘܛܘ ܡ̈ܰܠܰܚܐ; fol. 140a, text ܒ݁ܦ݁ܐܪܪܝܣܻܝܐܰ marg. ܛܘܒܢܐ ܒ݁ܦܱ݁ܪܷܣܻܝܴܐ; fol. 153b, text ܪܰܛܶܢ̣ܘ ܗܘܘܼ marg. ܛܘ ܪܛܢ̣ܘ; fol. 154a, text ܡܰܫ̣ܟ̇ܢܶܗ ܕܡܷܐܠܟ̣ܘܳܡ marg. ܛܘ ܕܡܰܠܟܾ̇ܘܡ; text ܕ݂ܪܰܐܦ݂ܐܰܢ marg. ܛܘ ܕܱܪܦ݂ܳܢ
Besides these, we find the following authorities cited:
Sergius, fol. 29b, ܣܷܐܪܓܻܝܣ ܐܰܪܥܳܢܝ (text ܐܰܪܥܰܢܝ), 115b, ܣܪܓܝܣ ܘܐܝܬܝܢܝ (text ܘܰܐܝܬ݁ܰܝܬ݂ܰܢܝ); Cyril fol. 60a, Ps. lix. 11, ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܩܺܘܪܺܝܠܳܠܘܣ. ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢ̣ܶܛܥܘܢ ܢܡܘܣܟ; Philoxenus, fol.165a, Rom. Xii. 16, ܦܠܝܟܣܝܢܘܣ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܟܝܟܢ; and an anonymous critic, ܣܒܐ foll. 44a, 133b.Of the remaining notes, the greater part refer to matters of
punctuation, or are explanatory of difficult words. As examples take the
following. Fol. 24b, ܙܒ̣ܶܢܘ ܦܩܘܕܐ ܙܒ̣ܰܢܘ ܡܬܰܢܝܳܢܐ. In Gen. 1. 26, the word ܕܘܦ݂ܢܐܳ is explained by ܓܠܘܣܩܡܐܳ
(γλωσσόκομον), fol.
10a. On the word ܕ̇ܰܚܠܱܡܬ݂ܐܳ in
Job vi. 6, there is the gloss ܗ̄ ܡܛܦܬܐ, fol. 41a.
Addition 3 (Fol. 206a):
On the margin of fol. 206a we read the
following.
ܡܢ ܚܪ ܢܘܿܗܳܪܐ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܣܛܐ܀ ܩܠܝܘܦܐ ܘܝܘܣܦ܆ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܘܡ̇ܪܝܡ
ܘܡܪܝܡ܆ ܐܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ̣. ܐܚ̈ܘܬܐ. ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܗܟܝ̇ܠ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܚ̈ܐ܆ ܢ̣ܣܒ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܬܪܬܝܢ
ܐܚ̈ܘܬܐ
Addition 4 (Fol. 247a):
Some remarks on the points called rukkākh and kushshāi, in two sections, on fol. 247a, are in a later hand.
Addition 5 (Fol. 1a):
On fol. 1 a there is a note, stating that this manuscript belonged to one
Abraham bar Abd-al-Masīh of Edessa.
ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܪ ܥܒܕ ܐܠܡܣܝܚ ܡܢܚܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܡܢ
ܐܘܪܗܝ ܒܪ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ. ܡܪܝܐ ܢܢܝܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ
Addition 6 (Fol. 1a):
Under the preceding note on fol. 1 a stand the following letters, written by a European hand:
EPP
Addition 7 (Fol. 247b):
A note on fol. 247b records that the volume was repaired and bound for the
second time by the priest Furaij.
ܕܒ̇ܩ̣ ܘܚ̇ܕܬ ܠܟܘܪܣܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܦܘܪܝܓ ܕܝܪܝܐ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܩܫܝ ܒܫܡܐ.
