    If, however, the note on fol. 184 a may be trusted, the title of this piece is ܟܪܡܐ ܦܠܝܚܐ, the cultivated vine , and its author Dioscorus, bishop of Gāzartā or al-Jazīra, the same who wrote the life of Bar Hebraeus in the year 1598, A.D. 1287 (see Dr. Payne Smith's Catalogue of the Syriac MSS. in the Bodleian Library, col. 515).

- Paper, about 8 3/8 in. by 6 1/8, consisting of 208 leaves, a few of which, at the beginning and end, are slightly mutilated. The quires, signed with letters, are now 19 in number, but the numeration commences with ܚ, which shows that the first seven have been lost. There are from 25 to 36 lines in each page. This volume is dated A. Gr., 1675, A.D. 1364

The writing, which is small, neat, and regular, is mostly in double columns, with occasional Greek and Syriac vowels.

See additions.

On fol. 204 a and b, there are ornamental circles, with interlaced, patterns, painted of different colours.

[N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.]

- The subscription to the first work of Barhebraeus states that the manuscript was written by Bar-saumā, the son of David, a monk of the convent of Kartamīn, A. Gr. 1675, A.D. 1364.

- On the margins of the first work of Barhebraeus there are notes of different dates, in Syriac, Karshūnī, and Arabic, chiefly consisting of glosses and various readings, with a few short extracts from: Dionysius bar Salībī, ܕܝܘܢܘܣܝܘܣ ܪܒܐ or ܒܪ ܨܠܝܒܝ , foll. 55 a, 60 a, 72 b, 73 a; Macarius, ܓܠܝܢܐ ܕ܏ܩܕ ܡܩ܏܏ܪܝ ܥܲܠ ܢܦ̈ܫܬܐ ܟܕ ܝ̣ܠܸܦ ܡܢ ܡ̈ܠܐܟܐ , fol. 55 b; Basil, fol. 59 b; Jacob of Edessa , foll. 59 b, 60 a; David the Phoenician (ܕܘܝܕ ܦܘܢܝ̣ܩܵܝܐ, fol. 60 b; Ignatius (ܐܝܓܢ܏ܛ ܢܘܪܵܢܐ), fol. 61 a; Gregory (Nazianzen), fol. 61 a; John bar Andreas (ܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܕܪܐܘܣ), fol. 68 a.

- On the margin of fol. 91 b, it is stated that the manuscript was collated and corrected by Rabban Ṣalībā of Ḥaḥ and his son Yeshūa':

ܐܬܬܲܨܚ ܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܙܠܓܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܻܪܬ݀ ܐܝ̣ܕ̈ܝܐ ]ܟܳܪܬ ܐܝܕ̈ܝܐ ܚܲܬܝܬ [note, ܕܪܒܢ ܨ̇ܠܝܒܐ [ܚܲܐܚܵܝܐ] ܘܒܪܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܟܝ̣ܪܘܢ (؟) ܚܬܝܬܐܝܬ ܟܡܐ ܕܡܲܨܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܲܝܠܢ ܬܚܘܒܐ ܒܒܥܘܼ ܨ̇ܠܘ ܥܠܝ.

- A note on fol. 2 b, written by one 'Azīz (ܦܦܝܝܐ), at the age of 75, speaks of the scribe Bar-ṣaumā as famous in his profession, and gives some account of his tragical end. Unfortunately it is partially effaced and mutilated.

- In the year 1712, A.D. 1401, a monk of Beth-Severīnā, by name Isaiah bar Denha, used the book. See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., p. 384.

ܦܓܥ̣ ܒܟܬܒܐ [ܗܢܐ] ܐܫܥܝܐ ܠܐ ܚ̇ܫܚܐ ܘ . . . ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܒܫܸܡ ܩـ[ـܫܝܫܐ] ܒܪ ܕܢܚܐ ܡܫܡܫـ[ـܢܐ] ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܣܒܝܪܝـ[ـܢܐ] ܩܐܣܛܪܐ. ܘܬܒ̇[ܥ] ܨܠܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܦܓ̇ܘ[ܥܐ] ܒܫܢܬ ܐ܏ܥܝܒ ܕܝ̈ܘܢܝܐ. ܘܠܐܬܘܣ ܕܘܟܣܐ ܐܡܝܢ

- In the same year it was purchased by the monk Behnām bar Yūḥannān, of Bartellā, from John, bishop of the convent of Kartamīn, for 150 zūzē of Ḥiṣn Kīfā:

ܙܒ̣ܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܠܸܐ ܝܘܬܪ̈ܢܐ ܢܦ̈ܫܢܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܙ̈ܠܓܐ ܘܫܘܪܪ ܫ̈ܬܐܣܐ ܥ̈ܕܬܢܝܬܐ ܘܒܬܪܗ ܣܘܳܕ ܣܘܦܝܐ ܘܒܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܝܪܐܬܸܐܵܘܣ ܘܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܬܐܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܛܘܛܝܬܐ ܘܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܥܒܝ̣ܕ ܠܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܕܪܐܝܘܣ ܘܟܪܡܐ ܦܠܝܚܐ ܕܥܒܝܕ ܠܕܝܘܣܩܘܪܘܣ ܕܓܙܪܬܐ ܒܡ̈ܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܚ̈ܣܢܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܦܝܣܩܘܦܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܩܪܬܡܝܢ ܒܫܢܬ ܏ܐܥܝܒ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ ܨܲܠܘ ܥܠ ܟܬܘܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܩܪܘܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܩܲܢܝܐ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܏ܫܘܒ ܐܡܝܢ.

- A note on the same page, in a different hand, mentions the promotion of the said Behnām to the dignity of Maphrian, in 1715, A.D. 1404, by the name of Basil; and to that of patriarch, in 1723, A.D. 1412, by the name of Ignatius. Compare Assemani, Bibl. Or, t. ii., pp. 384, 465.

ܕܐܬܬܣܪܚ ܡܦܪܝܢܐ ܒܫܢܬ ܐ܏ܥܝܗ ܘܐܬܩܪܝ ܒܣܝܠܠܝܘܣ ܏ܛ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܘܐܬܬܣܪܚ ܬܘܒ ܦܛܪܝܪܟܐ ܘܐܬܩܪܝ ܐܝܓܢܐܛܝܘܣ ܫܢܬ ܐ܏ܥܟܓ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ.

- The same Behnām has written his name on the margin of fol. 91 b

ܕܵܩ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܠܸܐ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܒܗܢܡ ܕܘܝܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܘܡܠܸܐ ܡܘ̈ܡܐ ܘܣܢ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܒܫܡ ܕܝܪܝܐ. ܫܢܬ ܐ܏ܥܝܒ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ.

- On the verso of fol. 204, Behnām has again recorded the purchase of the book and the price given for it, 156 (sic) zūzē of Ḥiṣn Kīfā:

. . . ܗܠܝܢ ܩܛܪ̈ܐ ܒܗܢܡ ܚܲܛܝܐ [ܕ]ܒܫܸܡ ܕܝܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܫ̇ܘܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ [ܒܪ] ܩܫܝܫܐ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪܛܠܝܐ . . ܐ ܙܒܢܬ ܠܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܒܫܢܬ ܏ܐܥܝܒ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ ܡܢ ܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܩܪܬܡܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ . . . ܪܒܢ ܡܲܠܟܐ ܥܝܘܪܙܢܝ (؟) . . . ܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܐܫܬܐ ܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܚܣ̈ܢܝܐ ܨܲܠܘ ܥܠܝ ܒܒܥܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܏ܘܫ.

- The same leaf contains some chronological calculations, and questions of Mār Jacob and Mār Severus the patriarch, now mutilated.

- On fol. 2 b it is stated that one Rabban Solomon purchased the volume from Ignatius (Behnām) patriarch of Māridīn

ܐܬܝܲܒܠ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܬܝܲܒܠܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܐ ܘܕܪ̈ܐ ܘܚ̣ܙܝܗܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܢܟܦܐ ܘܕܝܪܝܐ ܦܟܘܡܣܝܐ ܚܠܸܐ ܟܘܼܢܵܝܐ ܪܒܢ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܫܦ̣ܪ ܠܗ ܘܐܬܒܲܩܝ ܒܡ̈ܠܐ ܚܝ̈ܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܘܙܒܢܗ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܙܢ̣ܬ݀ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܐܠܗܝܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝ̣ܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܝܓܢܐܛܝܘܣ ܦܛܪܝܪܟܐ ܕܡܵܪܕܸܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܗܘ̣ܐ ܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܘܠܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛܒ̇ܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ. ܏ܘܫ.

- There is added in Arabic:

اترحمو علي القسيس القديس....... والرهب المكرم ربان سليمان

- On fol. 10 b another Ignatius, of much later date, has made an entry, stating that the manuscript belonged to two brothers, whose names have been erased

ܒܫܸܡ ܚܲܝܵܐ ܡܥ̈ܝܢܚܝܐ ܐܝܓܢܐܛܝܘܣ ܬܲܚܘܒܐ ܟܕ ܐܝܟ ܕܝ̈ܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܕܪ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܬܡ̈ܝܗܝ ܒܟ̇ܠ ܕܒܛܝ̣ܠܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܪܦ̣ܝܬܵܐ ܕܝ̣ܠܗ ܕܒܵܪܝܢ ܗ̇ܘ ܛܵܒܐ܇ ܘܡܫܟ̣ܚܵܢܢ ܣܓܝܕ ܨܘܝ̣ܵܒܐ. ܗ̇ܘ ܣܓܝܕܵܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܦܲܚܡܢܐ ܦܪܢܵܣܐ ܕܟ̇ܠ ܏ܘܫ. ܗܘ ܕܒܛܘ̈ܝܟܘܗܝ ܚ̈ܠܝ̣ܡܐ܇ ܘܒܨ̈ܘܝܒܘܗܝ ܪ̈ܚܝ̣ܡܐ܇ ܐܬܝܲܒܠ ܟܬܵܒܐ ܗܵܢܐ ܡܠܸܐ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܠܓ̇ܙܐ ܕܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܕܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܕ̈ܡܵܢܝܐ . . .

- Fol. 208 contains on the recto a few chronological notes in Arabic, and on the verso a note recording the purchase of the volume by Isaac bar Antonius, for 10 zūzē, in the year 1978, A.D. 1667, when Ignatius Shukrallāh was patriarch

ܙܒ̣ܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܠܸܐ ܝܘܬܪ̈ܢܐ ܢܦܫܢ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܙ̈ܠܓܐ ܘܫܘܼܪܪ ܫܬܐܣ̈ܐ ܥܕܬܢ̈ܝܐ ܘܒܬܪܗ ܣܘܕ ܣܘܦܝܐ ܘܒܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܝܪܐܬܐܘܣ ܘܐܝ̣ܬ ܒܗ ܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܛܘܛܝܬܐ ܘܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܟܬܒܢܘܬ ܙܒ̈ܢܐ ܘܟܪܡܐ ܦܠܝ̣ܚܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܝܣܚܩ ܒܪ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܢܛܘܢܝܘܣ ܒܪ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܦܘܠܘܣ ܒܥܣܪܐ ܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܝ ܦ̇ܛܪܝܪܟܘ ܕܝܠܢ ܐܒܘܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܝܓܢܐܛܝܘܣ ܕܗ̣ܘ ܫܟܪ ܐܠܠܗ ܒܫܢܬ ܐܨܥܚ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ.

- On the margin of fol. 3 a there is the catalogue of a small library, now mutilated.

- On fol. 203 b we find an Arabic version of "the Hours of the Night and Day," from the Testament of Adam , ساعات من قول آدم ء السلام, written by a modern hand

- On fol. 1 b there are historical notes in Syriac and Arabic, in the same handwriting as the pieces of recent date; and the following statement regarding the languages spoken by the Apostles
