- Vellum, about 6 1/2 in. by 4 3/8, consisting of 120 leaves, several of which are much torn, especially foll. 1, 62, 65, and 120. The quires, signed with letters, are now 13 in number, the first being lost. Leaves are wanting after foll. 4, 113 and 120. There are from 25 to 32 lines in each page.

This volume is written in a neat Estrangela, with the exception of the last two leaves. It seems to be of the ixth cent.

The last two leaves are in a more cursive hand.

- Colophon

On fol. 83 b the scribe has recorded his name, Epiphanius:

ܐܢܐ ܐܦܝܦܢܝܘܣ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܣܟܢܐ̣ ܘܐܟܣܢܝܐ. ܕܟܬܒܬ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܝ̣. ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝ ܐܚ̈ܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܥܕܠܘܢ̈ܢܝ. ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ

- Colophon

On fol. 93 b we find another name, perhaps that of the person for whom the book was written

ܐܚܐ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܒܪ ܗܘܪܩ ܬܓܪܝܬܢܝܐ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ

9th century
