- After the doxology, we read the following sentence:

ܐܝܟ ܡ̇ܠܚܐ ܕܚ̇ܕܐ ܡܐ ܕܢ̇ܦܩܐ ܐܠܦܗ ܠܠܡܐܢܐ̣. ܗܟܢܐ ܚ̇ܕܐ ܟܬܘܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܡ̇ܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܗ.

- Ownership Inscription

A note, on the second column of the same page, informs us that this manuscript belonged to the poor monks, who were driven from the convent of Tar-rě'īl or Tar'īl, near Aleppo (See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., p. 351), for the sake of the orthodox faith.

ܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ̣. ܕܛܘܒ̈ܢܐ ܡ̈ܣܟܢܐ ܕܪܕܝܦܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܬܪܪܥܝܠ܇ ܡܛܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܬܪܝܨܬܐ. ܟܠܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܕܫ̇ܩܠ ܠܗ̇ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ̇ ܐܘ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܡܢܗ̇: ܐܘ ܕܢܦܚ̇ܡ: ܘܣ̇ܪܚ ܒܗ̇ ܡܕܡ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ: ܐܘ ܟܐܡ̇ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܡܦ̇ܢܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܪ̈ܝܗ̇: ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܛܘ̈ܒܢܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܬܪܪܥܝܠ܆ ܢܗܘܐ ܝܕܥ̇ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܬܐ ܕܐܣܘܪܝܐ ܘܕܟܠܝܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ̣. ܥܕܡܐ ܕܡܦ̇ܢܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܗܘܢ ܣܛܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܘ ܣܘܪܝܝܢܐ ܘܢܟܝܢܐ ܨܒܝܢܝܐ܀ ܀

- In a later addition we are told that one Thomas corrected or repaired the volume:

ܬܐܘܡܐ ܒܨܝܪܐ̣. ܣ̇ܝܡܬ ܘܬܩ̇ܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܚܝܠܐ ܘܝܕܥܬܐ ܒܨܝܪܬܐ ܕܐܫܬܟܢܘ ܠܒܨܝܪܘܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܐ ܕܓܘܐ. ܘܡܦܝܣ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܠ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܗ̣̇. ܕܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܝ ܏ܘܫ.

Below is the single word ܡܘܬܐ, death, written thus:

- From the marginal note on fol. 2a, if appears that there were once bound with this volume a discourse on Faith and extracts from the Fathers:

ܘܬܘܒ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܘܚ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܬܐ.
