- Paper, about 6 7/8 in. by 5, consisting of 186 leaves, many of which are torn, especially foll. 1, 2, 12—41, and 179—186. The quires are signed with letters, from ܐ to ܝܐ, beginning at fol. 75; in the earlier part of the volume there do not seem to be any signatures. Leaves are wanting after foll. 1 and 11. There are from 9 to 18 lines in each page.

The greater part of this manuscript, from fol. 75 to the end, is written in a good, regular hand of the xiiith cent.

Foll. 2—40 seem to be in a different hand of about the same period.

Foll. 41—74 are somewhat more recent.

[N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.]

- Colophon

The colophon, fol. 186 a, states that the volume belonged to one Rabban Abraham.

ܫܠ̣ܡ ܐܝܟ ܬܒܥܬܗ ܕܩܲܢܝܐ. ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ ܥܠ ܚܛܝܐ ܘܕܘܝܐ ܕܣܪܛ ܐܝܟ ܚ̇ܝ̣ܠܗ. ܘ܏ܫ. ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ܇ ܕܪܒ[ܢ] ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܚܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ. ܡܪܝܐ ܢـ . . . .ܠܗ ܕܢܩ̣ܪܐ ܒܗ ܘܢܐ̣ܬܪ ܢܦ . . .

- The song of the blessed Virgin was added on fol. 186 b, after the colophon.

- On a narrow slip of paper, between foll. 74 and 75, there is writing in Karshūnī.

ܐܕܟܪ ܝܐ ܪܒ ܥܒܕܟ ܐܠܟܐܛܝ ܒܣܡ ܪܐܗܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܥܪܩ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝ, i.e., اذْكُرْ يا ربّ عبدَك الخاطى باسم راهِب من العرق (العِراق؟ or العِرْق؟)

- Throughout this manuscript, a reader has indicated the pronunciation of many of the Syriac words by writing them on the margins, or between the lines, in Arabic letters.
