Vellum, about 9 1/2 in. by 6, consisting of 151 leaves, some of which are much, stained and torn, especially foll. 3, 56, 66, 71, 72, 89, and 151. The quires, 20 in number, are signed with Syriac arithmetical figures (e.g. foll. 25, %; 33, %; 48, %; etc.). The later signatures, with letters, are all wrong. Leaves are wanting after foll. 40, 56, 65, 71, and 145. There are from 18 to 23 lines in each full page.

- Vellum, about 9 1/2 in. by 6, consisting of 151 leaves, some of which are much, stained and torn, especially foll. 3, 56, 66, 71, 72, 89, and 151. The quires, 20 in number, are signed with Syriac arithmetical figures (e.g. foll. 25, %; 33, %; 48, %; etc.). The later signatures, with letters, are all wrong.

The greater part of fol. 3 has been torn away, and large portions of the writing have been effaced on foll. 9 and 10.

This manuscript is written in a large, regular Estrangělā of the earlier half of the vith cent., perhaps even of the year 812, A.D. 501 (see the colophon).

See additions.

[N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.] [N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.]

- In the rubric of The list of the subscribing bishops, the word ܩܕܝܫܬܐ was erased and the word ܡܣܠܝܬܐ was substituted marginally by a later hand. Similarly, the two words ܢܨܝܚܐ ܠܐܘܢ are almost obliterated. Marginally, in the same hand as before, is written ܠܐܘܢ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܕܪܗܘܡܐ.

- In the rubric of the Letter of Leo of Rome to Anatolius of Constantinople, the words ܠܐܘܢ ܪܫܐ are almost effaced. Marginally, in a later hand, is added ܠܐܘܢ ܪܫܝܥܐ.

- On fol. 151 a there is the following colophon, which states that these canons, 193 in number, were carefully translated from Greek into Aramaic, in the city of Mabūg, in the year 812, A.D. 501. This manuscript was not improbably written in the same year.

ܐܫܬܠܡܘ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܢ̈ܘܢܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܬܫـ[ܥܝܢ] ܘܬܠ̈ܬܐ: ܕܐܬܬܣܝـ[ـܡܘ] ܒܣܘܢܗܕܘܣ ܡܫ̈ܚܠܦܬܐ ܬܡܢܐ: ܘܐܬܦܫܩܘ ܡܢ ܝܘܢܝܐ ܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܚܬܝܬܐܝܬ ܘܢܗܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܡܒܘܓ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ: ܒܫܢܬ ܬܡܢܡܐܐ ܘܬܪܬܥܣܪܐ ܕܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ . ܘ:ܘ

- Another note on page 151a, written in a small, cursive hand of the viith cent., but of which considerable portions have been erased, informs us that the book was presented by the priest Mār -------, abbat of Beth-Raman (?), to a certain convent, in the cemetery of which he was afterwards buried.

ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ[ܐ] . . . ـܢ. ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܒܗ ܒܘܪܟـ[ـܬܐ̣]. ܡܢ ܪܚ̇ܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܪܝ . . . ܇ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ [ܪܝܫܐ] ܕܟܢܘܫܝܐ ܕܕܝܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ [ܪ]ܡܢ. ܚܠܦ ܢܝܚܗ ܘܕܘܟܪܢܗ. ܗ̇ܘ ܕܟܕ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܦܩ̣. ܐܬܬܣܝܡ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪ̈ܐ ܕ[ܝـ]ـܠܗ̇. ܕܕܝܪܐ ܕ . . . [ـܠܝܣ]܇ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܐܡܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ . . .

- Beneath the note on fol. 151 a there is one of the usual forms of anathema, written, perhaps, by a different hand.

- The same person who wrote one or both of the above notes, has utilised the fly-leaves at the beginning of the volume by transcribing on them— Questions addressed to Timothy of Alexandria, with his replies.

- Of the erased note at the end of the Questions addressed to Timothy of Alexandria, with his replies, on the mutilated fol. 3 a, nothing can be read with certainty but the following name:

ܝ̇݅ܘ̇݅ܚ̇݅ܢܢ

- A monk named Abraham has recorded on fol. 9 a that he met with this book in the year 1802, A.D. 1491.

ܦܓܥ̣ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܩܢ̈ܘܢܐ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܝ̇ܢܐ. (sic) ܗ̇ܘ ܚܛܝܐ ܘܝܕܝܥ ܠܟܠܢܫ̣ ܒܚ̈ܛܗܐ ܘܪ̈ܘܫܥܐ ܘܣ̈ܟܠܘܬܐ. ܗ̇ܘ ܕܘܝܐ ܣܒܝܪܝܢܝܐ. ܒܫܘܡ̣ܠܝ ܬܡܢܐ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܕܬܘܬܒܘܼܬܝ ܕܒܐܟܣ̣ܢܝ̣ܐ. ܕܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܫܢܬ ܏ܐܦܒ ܕܝ̈ܘܢܝܐ ܢܟ̈ܝ̣ܠܐ. ܏ܘܫ

- It was the Abraham who wrote the note on fol. 9 a, in all probability, who perpetrated the erasures on foll. 9 and 10.

- The alterations on foll. 86 a, 119 a, 136 b, 138 a, and 144 b seem to be the work of other hands than Abraham.

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

- On fol. 228 b there is a short note in the handwriting of Moses of Nisibis , stating that he procured this manuscript for the convent of S. Mary Deipara (A.D. 932).

- Colophon, fol. 228 a:

ܫܠܡ ܠܡܟܬ[ܒ] ܒܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܦܘܪ̈ܫ ܩܪ̈ܝـ[ܢܐ] ܕܟܬܒ̈ܐ ܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ ܘܢܡܘ̈ܣܐ ܘ[ܦܘ]ܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܥܠܡ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܣܝ̣ܡܝܢ ܠܩܘܣܛܢܛܝܢܣ ܘܠܬܐܕܣܝܣ [ܘܠܠܐܘܢ]. ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܡܗ̈ܝܡܢܐ ܘܙܟ̈ܝܐ ܘܪ̈ܚܡܝ ܠܐܠܗܐ: ܕܘܟܪܢܗܘܢ ܠܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܘܨܠܘ̈ܬܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇: ܘܟܬܘܒܐ ܕܟܬ݂ܒ ܢܬܚܢܢ ܒܝܘܡ ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܐܡܝܢ . ܘ . . ܘ . ܫܘܒܐܚ ܠܬܠܝܬܝܘܬܐ ܐܡܝܢ .ܘ:ܘ

- As it would seem, the name of the emperor Leo in the colophon, ܘܠܠܐܘܢ, was purposely erased by some reader, who confounded the Emperor with the Pope, usually styled ܠܐܘܢ ܪܫܝܥܐ by the Monophysites.
