- Vellum, about l0 3/8 in. by 7 1/8, consisting of 299 leaves, some of which are slightly stained and torn. The quires, 30 in number, are signed with letters. A leaf is wanting after fol. 290. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 27 to 34 lines. As the ink has often faded considerably on one side of the leaves, some pages have been retouched at a later period.

This volume is written in a good, current hand.

[N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.] [N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.]

- Colophon

After the doxology, fol. 298 the scribe has given the date of the manuscript, A. Gr., 1187, A.D. 876.

ܐܫܬ̇ܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܟܘ̈ܢܫܐ ܫܢܬ ܐ̇ܠܦ ܏ܘܩܦܙ ܒܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ .. ܐܝܪܚ ܟܢܘܢ ܐܚܪܝ܀

- Colophon

On fol. 299 a there is a note, in the hand of the scribe, stating that it was written for a monk named John.

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܚܐ ܘܕܝܪܝܐ ܢܟܦܐ. ܕܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܥܒ̣ܕ ܘܣܡ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܘܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܕܦܓܥܝܢ ܒܗ. ܏ܘܫ.

- Another note, in the writing either of the said John or of the librarian of the convent, records that he presented the book, with four others, to the convent of S. Mary Deipara.

ܫ̇݅ܟܢܗ ܕܝܢ ܗ̣ܘ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܒܥܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ: ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܗ ܠܐܢܫ ܕܢ̇ܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢܗ̇ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܙܢ̈ܝܢ. ܟܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܝܪܝܐ. ܏ܘܫ.

- On fol. 210 b, between the columns, a monk named David, from Mar'ash, has entered his name.

ܢܚܣܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܚܛܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܠ̣ܐ ܕܡܪܥܫ

- On fol. 288 b, another, named Bar-sauma, has entered his name.

ܡܪܝܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܒܪܨܘܡܐ ܚܛܝܐ:

- On fol. 206 b there are some coloured ornaments, and fol. 299 b contains four rude sketches of cows and antelopes. The drawing on fol. 219 b seems to be intended for a camel.
