- Vellum, about 10 1/4 in. by 6 3/4, consisting of 179 leaves. The quires, signed with letters, are 18 in number. There are from 26 to 37 lines in each page.

This manuscript is written in a good, regular hand of the ixth cent.

Greek vowels have been occasionally added, in most instances, it would seem, by later hands.

The hymns on foll. 1 a, 178 b and 179, seem to be also in the hand of the scribe, the monk Simeon, though written currente calamo; and so also is the Index of the contents of the volume, fol. 1 b.

See additions.

foll. 66 b 78 b 89 b 99 b 102 b 109 a 114 a 120 b 122 b 131 b 147 b

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

- In this manuscript the names, the names in The history of Hilaria, the daughter of the emperor Zeno were originally Maria (ܡܐܪܝܐ) and Theodosius (ܬܐܘܕܘܣܝܣ), but they have been altered throughout by a later hand.

- In some parts of this manuscript there are brief glosses and Greek words written on the margins; especially on foll. 2—18.

- On fol. 178 a, after the doxology, we find a note in the writing of the scribe, the monk Simeon, stating that he copied it for his own use.

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ̣ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܪܝܐ̇. ܕܟܬܒܗ ܠܗ ܒܟܬ̇ܒܬ ܐܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ̣. ܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ. ܏ܘܫ

- A second note on fol. 178 a has been carefully effaced.

- A third note on fol. 178 a records the presentation of the volume to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the priest Simeon of Tagrit at his decease:

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ݀ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩܝܛܝ. ܫܟܢܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܗ̇ ܡܪܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܏܏ܩܫ ܬܓܪܝܬܢܝܐ ܒܥܘܢܕܢܗ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܘܟܪܢܗ ܥܡ ܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܢܛܪܘ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܘܗܝ. ܏ܘܫ

- On fol. 2 a there is a note of comparatively modern date, stating that the book belonged to the convent of S. Mary Deipara.

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܕܡ̇ܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩܛܝ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ. ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܣܥܐ ܥܠ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܓܢܒ ܐܘ ܠܚܐ ܐܘ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܏ܘܫ

- On fol. 178 a, at the foot of the page, we find another note, also of modern date, written by a monk of Ras-'ain, whose name has been erased

ܐܬܛܝܒ ܘܩܪܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܕܘܝܐ ܒܚ̈ܛܝܐ ܡܣܟܢܐ . . . ـܡܐ ܒܫܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܝܫܥܝܢܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܘ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܐ . . . ܡܛܘܠܬܗ ܐܬܟܢܫܬܘܢ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܥܠ . . .

- On the upper margin of fol. 7 a there stands the following autograph:

ܝ݊ܘ݊ܚ݊ܢܢ ܥܒـ[ـܕܗ] ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

- A note accompanying the autograph on the upper margin of fol. 7 a states that the autograph is that of John, bishop of Jerusalem , who visited the convent of S. Mary Deipara, at a time when there were in it no less than 70 Syrian monks.

ܗܕܐ ܟܬܝܒܬܐ ܕܚܣܝܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܐܬ݂ܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ

- On the outer margin of fol. 28 a we read the name of the monk Ephraim, from the convent of Mar Sergius at Balad
