- What originally stood after the doxology, fol. 122a, has been erased, in order to make room for a note in a modern hand. Of this latter only a few words are now legible, owing to the lower part of the leaf being torn away, but it evidently contained the name of a possessor of the volume:

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܫܥ[ܝܐ] . . . ܩܫܝܫ[ܐ] . . .

- On fol. 122b there is a note of older date, probably of the xth cent., stating that the manuscript belonged to Leontius, abbat of the convent of Mār Theodore on the mountain to the west of Sarīn , who, with his disciple Constantine, purchased it for the use of the convent:

ܢܗܘܐ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܪܝ ܠܐܘܢܛܝ ܕܒܪ̈ܚ̣ܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܬܐܕܘܪܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܕܡܥܪ̈ܒܝ ܣܪܝܢ܇ ܕܡܢ ܥܡܠܐ ܕܐܝܼܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܡܢ ܕܘܥܬܐ ܕܐܦ̈ܘܗܝ̇. ܘܕܩܘܣܛ ܬܠܡܝܕܗ. ܐܬܚ̇ܦܛܘܢ ܘܣܡ̣ܘܢ ܣܝܼܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܥܘܡܪܗܘܿܢ. ܡܛܠ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܥܢܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܘܛ̇ܪܐ ܕܚܝܝ̈ܗܘܢ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܥܒ̣ܕܘܢ ܗܕܐ̣. ܗܼܘ ܢܫܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘ܏ܫ.

- The above note is in the handwriting of one Simeon the son of ܪܓܝܘ , the same who drew up the index of lessons, as may be seen from the note appended to that index, fol. 3a:

ܡܛܠ ܚܘܒܗ ܘܚ̈ܫܘܗܝ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܦܪܘܩܢ: ܟܠ ܕܡ̇ܦܪܫ ܩܪ̈ܝܢܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܛܘܒܬܢܐ ܐܫܥܝܐ̣ ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠ ܚܛܝܐ ܘܕܘ̇ܝܐ . . . ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܪܓܝܘ ܕܣ̣ܡ ܒܗ ܩܪ̈ܝܢܐ̣. ܘܥܠ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܪܝ ܠܐܘܢܛܝ ܡܪܗ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܏܏ܘܫ

- The large writing that once covered fol. 1a has been partially effaced, and over it there is now written a prayer of Jacob of Batnae, ܒܥܘܬܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ, beginning:

ܘܝ ܚܛܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܣܚܝܦ ܐܢܬ ܡܐ ܕܚ̇ܛܐ ܐܢܬ: ܏ܘܫ

- The quires are now signed with letters, in one or two instances incorrectly.

- A few Greek vowels have been subsequently added ().

- Many more lessons have been added on the margins by a later hand, which has often altered the original rubrics.
