title: Πληροφορία, i.e., "Defense of the orthodox and apostolic faith," being a defense of Monophysite doctrines, principally directed against the Nestorians
rubric: ܦܠܝܪܘܦܘܪܝܐ ܐܘ ܟܝܬ ܡ̣ܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܬܪܝܨܬ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܝܘܬܐ
incipit: ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢ̈ܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܝ̇ܕܐ ܥܠ̣ܬܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ̇ܝܢܢ: ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܕܝܠܢ: ܘܡܢ ܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܚܣ̇ܡ ܒܫܦܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܥ̇ܕܠܝܢ: ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܪܫ̇ܝܢ ܠܡܣܟܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܐܝܟ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܠܐ ܨ̇ܒܝܢܢ: ܏ܘܫ.
The author commences by assigning the false statements and abusive language of the opponents of his way of thinking, as his principal reason for writing this defense of the faith: ܒܙܒܢ ܕܝܢ: ܣܕ̈ܘܩܐ ܘܝܥܩܘ̈ܒܝܛܐ ܘܐܩ̈ܦܠܘ ܐܘ ܟܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܪܝܫܐ ܩ̇ܪܝܢ ܠܢ: ܘܒܚ̈ܣܕܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܘܡܘ̈ܝܩܐ ܡܗ̇ܠܝܢ ܒܢ. ܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܬܝ: ܕܐܦ ܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ ܘܡ̈ܛܥܝܢܐ ܘܡܚ̈ܫܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡ̇ܟܢܝܢ ܠܢ: ܘܕܓܡܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܦܝ̇ܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܫܦܝܪܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ: ܏ܘܫ.
He then enters into a full statement of the monophysite doctrines (fol. 2 b), for which he claims the support (fol. 6 b) of Ignatius, Julius, Athanasius, Basil, the three Gregories, Theophilus, Chrysostom, Epiphanius, Cyril, Dioscorus, Timotheus, Severus of Antioch, Philoxenus of Mabūg, Theodosius of Alexandria, and Anthimus of Constantinople; and concludes by bringing forward a considerable number of testimonies from these and other writers, which he has arranged in three chapters, fol. 7 b.

- On fol. 1 a are the remains of several notes, all more or less erased.
