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. 63a):
The original writing on fol. 63 a has been erased, and other words
substituted by a later hand.
Addition 2:
At the end of the history of Serapion, we find
the letter of Theophilus of Alexandria
to the convent of
Pachomius
.
ܐܓܪܬܐ ܕܒܘܝܐܐ ܕܟܬ̣ܒ ܬܐܘܦܝܠܘܣ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ
ܠܦܟܘܡ
Addition 3:
The last two pieces are a later addition, but by the same hand as the
rest of the volume, (the Colophon, fol. 281 a).
ܫ̣ܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܟܘ̈ܢܫܐ ܕܐ̈ܒܗܬܐ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܐ. ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܬܥ̇ܕܪ
ܠܟܠ ܕܐܫܬ̣ܘܬܦ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ܀ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܫ
Addition 4:
The Colophon is followed by a note, giving the name of the scribe,
the priest Theodosius.
ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ̣. ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠ ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܬܐܘܕܘܣܝ܇ ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܫ̇ܘܐ̣
ܩܫܝܫܐ. ܕܢܬܚ̣ܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܝ̇ܣܐ ܕܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܐܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ܀
Addition 5 (Fol. 281b):
On fol. 281 b is a note, stating that this manuscript was written by
the said Theodosius, for the Tagritan monks
Matthew, Abraham and
Jacob, who deposited it in the convent of S. Mary
Deipara, at the time when Dionysius was
patriarch of Antioch, Jacob patriarch of
Egypt, and Basil metropolitan of
Tagrit. Now Dionysius of
Tell-mahar
sat A.D. 818—845;
Jacob sat A.D. 819—836; and Basil of
Tagrit
died A.D. 830 (see Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii.,
p. 131) . Consequently, this manuscript was written between
A.D. 819 and
830.

ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܗ. ܘܫ.
Addition 6 (Fol. 2a):
On fol. 2 a is a later note, the former portion of which consists of
the usual anathemas, whilst the latter portion informs us that this
was one of the hooks conveyed to the convent of S. Mary
Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis
in the year 1308 (A.D. 997). Here there is a
double mistake, as Moses did not set out on his journey for at least a
hundred years after the book was written, expressly for the convent,
and returned to Scete in 1213 (A.D.
932). Probably A.D.
997 was the year in which this note was written, and the
writer inadvertently substituted it for A.D. 932.

Addition 7 (Fol. 1a):
Fol. 1, which is much mutilated, contains, on the verso, part of a
prayer; and on the recto, a Cross, with an inscription, now partially
effaced.
Addition 8:
There are some ornamental devices in this manuscript; e.g., on foll.
15 b, 127 a, 164 a, and 167 a.
