Colophon:
ܫܠܸܡ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܪܝܘܚܢܢ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܥܡ
ܡܡܠܠܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܬܐ ܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ ܘܡ̈ܠܦܢܐ.
Addition 2 (Fol. 88a):
In the second column of the same page as the colophon, there is an imperfect note,
stating that this book was written at Edessa, A.H. 158
(A.D.
774—5), by the
priest Cyprian of Nisibis, for a person whose name and
place of residence have been erased (those of
Severus and Harrān having been
substituted).
ܐܬܟܬܒ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܐܘܪܗܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܒܪܟܬܐ

Addition 3 (Fol. 88a):
The doxology and the first part of the above note, at the foot of the
first column, have been erased, with the exception of the following words:
ܘܐܬܕܟܪܝܗܝ̇ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܒ̣ܕܟ. ܡܐ ܕܗ̇ܘܐ ܥܦܪܐ ܘܩܛܡܐ
ܒܠܒܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ
Addition 4 (Fol. 88a):
In place of the erased portions above we find the following
lines, informing us that Moses of Nisibis, abbat of the convent of S. Mary
Deipara, bought this volume from the family of the
priests Joseph and
Melchizedek, and the deacon
Lazarus, the sons of Zĕlūphīn of Hārran.
ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܒܪܐ ܘܠܪܘܚܐ ܩܕ. ܙܒܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ

Addition 5 (Fol. 88b):
On fol. 88 b there is a note in the usual form, which states that this
was one of the 250 volumes presented to the convent of S. Mary
Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis, on his return from Bagdad, in the
year 1243, A.D.
932.
