- On the margin of fol. 94 a, Of the gloomy darkness that comes upon ascetics in solitude is entitled

ܫܠܝܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܗ̇

- The margins of this manuscript are covered with glosses (ܢܘܗܪ̈ܐ) added by the scribe.

- One of the glosses added by the scribe (see above) is said to be taken from the commentator Tobias, fol. 24 a:

ܢܘܗܪܐ ܡܢ ܛܘܒܝܐ ܡܦܫܩܢܐ ܀ ܐܒܝ̈ܠܐ ܠܡ ܩ̇ܪܐ̣ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܝܐܒܝܢ ܠܛܒ̈ܬܗ ܘܠܪ̈ܓܝܓܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ. ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ݂ ܒܟܡܝܪܘܬܐ ܝܬܝܪܬܐ. ܟܕ ܩ̇ܢܛܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ݂ ܘܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܥ̈ܬܝܕܢ

- The margins of this manuscript are covered with various readings (, i.e. ) added by readers in the xiith and xiiith centuries.

- Foll. 1 and 2 a contain extracts in a somewhat later hand, chiefly taken, as it appears, "from the book of Paradise", ܡܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܦܪܕܝܣܐ (fol. 1 a).
