Physical Description

Paper, about 6 3/4 in. by 5, consisting of 80 leaves, some of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1, 10, 25, 43, 65, 72, and 80. The quires, originally at least 12 in number, are signed with letters; but they are also marked with Arabic words (e.g. fol. 26 a, % ), and a later hand has numbered the leaves with Coptic arithmetical figures. The first two quires are missing; there are lacunae after foll. 10, 18, 35, 42, 64, and 72; and more than a quire is wanting at the end. The number of lines in each page varies from 14 to 19.

Hand 1 (major, Unspecified Syriac script): The writing is good and regular of the xiiith cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): Foll. 11—25 are a later addition.
