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

- On the margin of fol. 54 a, in reference to the words of Chrysostom, ܫܘܕ̈ܠܝܗ̇ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܡܝ̣ ܟ̇ܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝ, we read the note: I,Cyril the stranger, have written: his mother's name was Anthusa" (' Ανθουσα ).

ܩܘ[ܪܝܠܘܣ] ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܟܬܒܬ ܠܐܡܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܬܘܣܐ ܫܡܗ̇

- That the name of the annotator was really Cyril, appears from another note on fol. 146 a: "Cyril has written: this is by Evagrius" (which is, however, a mistake).

ܩܘܪܝܠܘܣ ܟܬ݂ܒ ܕܐܘܓܪܝܘܣ ܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܗܕܐ

- The later writing on fol. 1 a is too much defaced and mutilated to be intelligible.
