Additions
N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 16b):
On the lower half of fol. 16 b the original text has been erased, and a later hand
has written the pretended colophon:
ܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܕܒܗ ܡܠܠ ܘܦܫܩ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܘܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܚ̈ܝܕܝܐ..
Below, on the right side, stand, in the same handwriting, the words:
ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܚܝܠ ܘܠܒܪܐ ܕܣܝܥ ܘܠܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ . . .
on the left,
ܡܢܘ ܕܦܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܕܡܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܒ̈ܢܝ ܡ̈ܠܐܟܐ.
ܐܠܗܐ ܩܡ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܕܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ
and at the foot of the page,
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܒܚ̈ܛܗܐ ܓܡܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܒܟܪܡܟ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܦܠܚܬ ܐܦܠܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܒܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܕܚܢܘ . . . ܣܐ
ܥܠ ܪܝܫ ܩܝܣܐ . . . .
Addition 2 (Fol. 16b):
The central portion has been carefully effaced at a still later date, and in its
place we now find the following lines, informing us that the manuscript was presented
to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by its owner Bar-had-be-shabba
ܕܒܪܚܕܒܫܒܐ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܕܫܟܢܗ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܪܝܐ
ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܕܢܫܢܝܗ ܡܢܗ̇ ܘܫ.
Addition 3 (Fol. 1a):
On fol. 1a there are written in an old Arabic hand the words
لأَنبا يوُحَنَّا العُتَوََحّد في
الوَحدَة
, i.e.لأَنبا يوُحَنَّا
العُتَوََحّد في الوَحدَة,
(the works) of Amba (Abba) Yuhanna the solitary
