Additions
N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
Addition 1:
The title, fol.1b, has been effaced, and in its place we now read the following mutilated words, written by a later hand:ܕܡـ[ܪܝ ܐ]ܦܪܝܡ . . . ܫܪܝܖ(sic)ܐܠܐ ܠܒܣܝܠܠܝܣ ܐ̣ܘ ܠܝܘܐܢܢܝܣ; which seem to imply that the writer ascribed these homilies, not to Ephraim, but to Basil or John Chrysostom. However, on fol.9a we can still read the partially effaced running title ܕܡܪܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ; and again, on foll.12b and 13a, ܬܘܪ̈ܓܡܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ; besides (sic)ܕܡܪܝ ܦܪܝܡ on the margin of fol.2a in a later hand.
Addition 2 (Fol. 1a):
On fol. 1a. there is a long note in the usual form, stating that this was one of the 250 volumes, which were brought to the convent of S. Mary Deipara
by the abbat Moses of Nisibis, A Gr. 1243, A.D. 932.
