Additions

N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1: In Add. 17,211, fol. 53 a, lower half, there is a note, stating that this book was written by one Simeon, a recluse of the convent of Mār Simeon of Kartamīn, for Daniel, periodeutes of the district of Amid ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܢܝܐܝܠ ܒܪܝܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܣܥܘܪܐ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܡܕܝܐ. ܕܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܩܢܝܗܝ ܡܛܘܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܘܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܒܝܢ ܨܐܕܘܗ̇ܝ̇. ܕܗ̣̇ܘ ܟܕ ܗ݂̄ܘ ܢܝܫܐ ܕܪܚܡܬ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܩܢ̣ܝܢ܇ ܘܨܒ̇ܝܢ ܕܢܐܬܪܘܢ ܚܝ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܕܡܢܗ. ܣܪܛܗ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܚܒܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܥܘܡܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܩܪܬܡܝܢ. ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܗ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܐܘ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܡܢܗ܆ ܏ܘܫ.
Addition 2: In the same manuscript, on fol. 49 a, lower half, there is a note in a different hand, informing us that the book belonged to Daniel, bishop of Edessa , who acquired it whilst he was periodeutes of the district of Amid (see the previous note) ܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܣܐܘܪܐ̣. ܕܚܣܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܪܝ ܕܢܝܐܝ݊ܠ ܐܦܝܣܩܘܦܐ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܘܪܗܝܐ . . ܕܩܢܗ̇ ܡܢ ܙܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܠܗ̣ܐ. ܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܣܥܘܪܐ ܒܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܡܕ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ. ܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܕܟܠ ܕ[ܩܪ]ܐ ܒܗ̇. ܐܠܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܚܪܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܓܢܒ̇ ܠܗ̇ ܐܘ ܡܛܫܐ ܐܘ ܡܫܓܢܐ ܠܗ̇ ܡܢܗ ܒܚܝ̈ܘܗܝ܇ ܐܘ ܦܣܩ̇ ܐܘ ܠܚ̇ܐ ܐܘ ܓܪܕ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢܗ̇ ܠܥܠܡ. ܏ܘܫ.
Addition 3: A third note, on the same page, in another hand, records that the said Daniel bequeathed it at his death to the convent of Mār Silas at Sarūg. ܒܫܘܠܡ ܚܝ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܘܪܬܗ̇ ܠܥܘܡܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܫܝܠܐ ܕܒܣܪܘܓ. ܡܛܠ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܕܥܢܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ. ܡܪܝܐ ܢܚ̣ܢܗ ܒܝܘܡ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܐܡܝܢ. ܏ܘܫ. Dr. Cureton has shown, in the preface to his edition of the fragments of the Iliad, pp. viii. and ix., that this Daniel must have been bishop of Edessa somewhere between A.D. 768, when Elias of Ḳartamīn was elected to that see, and A.D. 825, when Theodosius became bishop.In Add. 12,181, fol. 102 a , there is mentioned a Daniel, bishop of Edessa, A.D. 669; but this manuscript cannot be of such antiquity. Of the subsequent history of the volume we know nothing; though Dr. Cureton has very plausibly conjectured that it was one of the 250 manuscripts, which were conveyed by Moses of Nisibis to the convent of S. Mary Deipara, A.D. 932.
