The quires, ܒ ,ܓ and ܕ are marked on the last leaf with the Coptic ciphers %,%and %. The manuscript is not all the work of one hand. Foll. 1—42 are written in a neat cursive character. On fol. 43 a, the second scribe began also to write a cursive hand, but almost immediately changed it to Estrangela (fol. 43 b), which he continued as far as fol. 139, reverting then to the cursive. Greek vowels have been occasionally added by later hands. Each page is divided into two columns, but the number of lines in each column varies very considerably. It is dated A. Gr. 1156, A.D. 845.

- The margins of this manuscript are covered with notes, in the same hand¬writings as the text, which are probably due either to the translator Paul or to the patriarch Athanasius II. Many of them are either various readings (see in particular fol.147b), or references to Scripture; but others relate to the occasions of the sermons, or are explanatory of words or passages in them. For example—

Fol.5a. On the 3rd sermon:

ܟܕ ܐܬܥܒܕ ܩܫܝܫܐ̣. ܫܢܝ ܠܦ݁ܢܛܘܣ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܫ܇ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܙܘܥܬܐ ܕܪܒܘܬ ܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܟܗܢܘܬܐ. ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܚ̇ܫܒ ܡܛܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗ̈ܘܝ܆ ܘܕܠܐ ܙܕܩ̇ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩ̇ܪܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ̣. ܦܢ̣ܐ ܠܐܪܝܢܙܘ. ܘܥܒ̣ܕ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܐ. ܡܛܠ ܥܪܘܩܝܗ̣. ܘܥܠ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܦܢ̣ܐ. ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܦܝܣܝܘܗܝ ܩܠܝܪ̈ܝܩܘ ܕܐܢܙܝܢܙܘ ܕܢܥܕܥܕ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ. ܘܥ̣ܒܕ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ܇ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܥܡܐ. ܘܗ̣ܘ ܡ̇ܢ ܐܬܐ̣. ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܫ̣ܘ. ܘܥܕܥܕ ܥܡ ܙܥܘܪ̈ܐ. ܘܥܠ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܐܡ̣ܪ: ܕܒܨܝܪ ܩܠܝܠ ܟ̇ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܛܝܒܬ ܠܡܫܬܘܬܐ. ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܟܕ ܐܬ݂ܐ ܘܥ̣ܒܕ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܠܘܬ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܩܪ̈ܘ ܒܫܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܦܓܥܘ:

On the passage in the same discourse:ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܕ ܕܩܫܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ̇: ܗ̇ܝ ܕܢܕܥ ܠܡ̇ܗܘܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܝܫܐ̣. ܏ܘܫ(Opp., t. i., p. 17, A), there is the note, fol.6b:

On the passage in the 10th discourse:ܒܬܪ ܕܝܢ ܕܫ̇ܪܝܘ ܠܡܬ݂ܟܪܗܘ. ܘܥܠ ܚ̈ܕܕܐ ܫܢܘ: ܘܐܬ݂ܦܪܫܘ ܠܡܢ̈ܘܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ: ܏ܘܫ(Opp. t. i., p. 190, D), the annotator remarks, fol.45b:

In the 22nd discourse, the words ܠܐ ܝܠܝܕܐ ܘܝܠܝܕܐ, τὸ ἀγέννητον καὶ τὸ γεννητόν(Opp. t. i., p. 530, D), are thus explained, fol.138b:

ܠܐ ܝܠܝ̣ܕܐ ܘܝܠܝ̣ܕܐ ܒܝܘܢܝܐ̣ ܐܓܘܢܝ̣ܛܘܢ ܘܓܢܛܘܢ ܡܬܩܪܐ. ܐܓܘܢܝ̇ܛܘܢ ܡܬܩ̣ܪܐ ܒܬܠܬ̈ܐ ܟܘ̈ܢܝܐ܆ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܬ̈ܐ ܣܘ̈ܟܠܐ. ܠܐ ܝܠܝ̣ܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܒ̣ܪܝܐ̣ ܘܠܐ ܝܠܝܕܘܬܐ. ܘܓܢܛܘܢ̣ ܗܘ ܗܟܢ ܒܬܠ̈ܬܐ ܟܘ̈ܢܝܐ. ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܬܠܬ̈ܐ ܣܘ̈ܟܠܐ. ܝܠܝܕܐ. ܘܒ̣ܪܝܐ ܘܝܠܝܕܘܬܐ. ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܡܫ̇ܐܠ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܐܝܟܢ ܐ̇ܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܝܠܝܕܐܘܝܠܝܕܐܐܝܟ ܙܦܠܘܢܦܠܘܐܝܟ ܙܦܠܢ.

In the 24th discourse on the words:ܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܩܝܢܘ ܘܛܝܬܘ̈ܣ ܘܦ̈ܢܝܛܘܣ܇ ܘܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢ̣ܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܡܫܡܗܝܢ(Opp. t. i., p. 566, B) there is the note, fol.157a:

ܐܩܝܢܘܣ ܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܢܗܪܐ ܕܪܕܐ ܚܕܪ̈ܝ ܡܬܥܡܪܢܝܬܐ܀ ܘܛܝܬܘܣ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܗܢܐ. ܘܦܢܝܛܐ ܘܐܘܪܦܐܘܣ ܠܥܠ̣ܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܡܫ̇ܡܗ. ܐܠܗܐ ܣ̇ܢܐ ܒ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܠܩܪܢܘܣ ܕܫܝܘܠ. ܦܠܛܘܢ ܙܝܘܣ ܕܫܡܝܐ. ܕܝܡܐ ܦܝܣܝܕܘܢ.

- Many Greek words, especially proper names, are written on the margins in Greek letters; see, for example, foll.25a, 28a, 47b, 70a, 116a, 165b, 166a, 183a and 183b, and 196b.
