- The margins of The Psalms, according to the Peshitta version, with short arguments prefixed contain numerous notes, a few of which are in Arabic (e.g. fol. 24 a).

Most of them are derived from the ܬܘܨܪ ܐܪ̈ܙܐ of Gregory Bar-Hebraeus , and refer to the pronunciation of words in the text, or to various readings of the Greek (ܝܘܢܝܐ , foll. 18 b, 24 a 26 b, 27 b, 30 b, etc.), Nestorian (ܢܣܛܘܪ foll. 21 b 23 a, b, 24 a, etc.), Karkaphensian (ܩܪܩܦܝܐ foll. 100 b 118 b), and Armenian (ܐܪܡܢܝܐ foll. 34 a, 62 a) versions.

- On fol. 2 a there is a note in Arabic, stating that the book belonged to one Anton, the son of Shakūr, the son of Hannā; and another in Italian, , probably a son of the preceding.

هاده كتاب مزامير انطون ولد شكور ولد حنا

- On fol. 2 athere is a note in Italian, probably referring to a son of the preceding.
