author: Theodore of Mopsuestia
title: Fragments of the treatise of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Incarnation of our Lord, divided into 15 books
title: Περὶ ἐνανθρωπήσεως τοῦ ὑιοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγοι ιεʹ
rubric: ܡܛܠ ܦܓܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
The Greek title seems to have been Περὶ ἐνανθρωπήσεως τοῦ ὑιοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγοι ιεʹ; that of the Syriac translation was, perhaps, ܡܛܠ ܦܓܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ.
See O. F. Fritzsche, de Theodori Mopsuesteni vita et scriptis commentatio (Halae, 1836), p. 88; Migne, Patrol. Gr., t. lxvi., col. 55; Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. iii., pars 1., p. 33; Cave, Hist. Liter., t. i., p. 387.
Whether the leaves, as now arranged, are in correct sequence, is very uncertain. The 43d section, ܡܓ, begins on fol. 4 b; and the 6th discourse ends on fol. 6 b, with the subscription ܫܠܡ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܐܫܬܐ . The 50th section, ܢܢ, commences on fol. 7 b. On fol. 10 b we find the conclusion of the 8th discourse and the commencement of the 9th, comprising sections ܣܓ, ܣܕ, and ܣܗ, which have been subsequently altered into ܣܕ, ܣܗ, and ܣܘ. The 10th discourse ends, and the 11th begins, on fol. 11 b. On fol. 12 b there is also the running title . The 78th and 79th sections appear on fol. 17 b.
These fragments have been edited, with a Latin translation, by Dr. Sachau, in "Theodori Mopsuesteni Fragmenta Syriaca," Leipzig, 1869

Eighteen vellum leaves, about 10 3/4 in. by 8 3/8, nearly all more or less stained, torn, and mutilated. The quires are signed with letters (fol. 6 b, ܛ). Each page is divided into two columns, of from 34 to 37 lines. The writing is a small, elegant, Edessene Estrangělā, of the vth or vith cent.
