Vellum, about 10 ¼ in. by 8 1/8, consisting of 99 leaves, some of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1, 2, 8, 40—42, and 99.

N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 99b): On fol. 99b, there is a note, written by the scribe in a more cursive character, which states that this book was purchased by ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܡ(Μόνιμος?), priest of the church in the village of ܚܪܝܫܬܐ(perhaps , near Damascus, on the road to Ḥimṣ), in the year 785(A.D. 474), when Timotheus was bishop of that place and Monimus was periodeutes. The book itself was written in Edessa ܙܒܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܕܚܪܝܫܬܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܡܢ . . . ܕܩܕܫ . . ܐ ܠܢܝܚܐ ܘܩܪܝܢܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܒܝܒ̈ܘܗܝ. ܒܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܡܝܬܪܐ ܘܪܚܡ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܝ ܛܝܡܬܐܐ ܐܦܝܣܩܘܦܐ ܘܡܪܝ ܡܘܢܡܐ ܦܪܝܗܕܘܛܐ. ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕ̈ܝܫܘܗܝ ܢܥܒܕ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܥܘܡܪܗ ܘܥܠ ܩܢܝܢܗ ܘܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚ̈ܛܗܐ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ. ܐܫܬܠܡ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܝܪܚ ܐܝܠܘܠ ܕܫܢܬ ܫܒܥܡܐܐ ܘܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܘܚܡܫ ܒܐܘܪܗܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ.
Addition 2: A later hand has erroneously numbered the quires from ܐ to ܝܒ.
Addition 3 (Fol. 99b): Another note on the fol.99b, now partially effaced, records that it once belonged to a person named Yeshūa ܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܒܪ ܡܪܝ . . . ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ
Addition 4 (Fol. 99a): On fol.99a, after the doxology, we find a note, which mentions that the abbat Moses of Nisibis purchased this book at Rās-'ain, for the convent of S. Mary Deipara ܙܒܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܝܫܥܝܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣ̈ܩܝܛܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܕܝܪܐ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܣܐ ܠܗ ܘܠܟܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܗ. ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܐܢܫ ܣܟ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ. ܡܢܗ̇ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܢܥܛܐ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܣ̇ܥܐ ܚܪܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܡܗܦܟ ܠܗ܀
