This manuscript is written in a good, clear hand of the ixth cent. [The letter ܘ when initial, is often disproportionately large in comparison with the other letters.] [On fol. 3a, in the subscription of the first discourse, we find the date A. Gr 999, A.D. 688; but the scribe seems to have copied this, perhaps inadvertently, from the manuscript that lay before him.]
