- Colophon

A note on fol. 135a, in a more cursive character, states that this manuscript was written for the recluse Sha'dūn, residing near the village of ܡܬܢ, in the province of Bostra, A. Gr. 915=A.D. 604, who gave for it the sum of 4 dīnārs, minus 3 carats.

ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܥܒܕ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝ ܫܥܕܘܢ ܚܒܝܫܐ ܕܒܟܘܪܐ ܕܒܘܨܪܐ ܕܥܡܪ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܝܠܗ. ܐܬܟܬܒ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܢܬ ܬܫܥܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܥܣܪܐ ܕܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܒܐܝܪܚ ܬܡܘܙ ܒܚܡܫܬܥܪ ܒܗ ܒܝܪܚܐ. ܐܙܕܒܢ ܕܝܢ ܛ̈ܝܡܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܝܢܪ̈ܐ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܐ ܒܨܝܪ ܩܪ̈ܛܐ ܬܠܬܐ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܫܡܗ ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܙܒܢ ܏ܘܫ.

- Another note, written in a rather inelegant Estrangela, informs us that the book belonged to the convent of the blessed Shu'aidūn and of John the recluse, who came after him, which is situated on the hill of ܗܓܢ east of ܡܬܢ Castra.

ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܛܘܒܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܫܘܥܝܕܘܢ ܘܕܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܚܒܝܫܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܬܝܗ̇ ܒܗܓܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܡܕܢ̈ܚܝ ܡܬܢ ܩܨܛܪܐ. ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܗ . . .

- Just below this we read, in a different hand:

ܚܢܢ ܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܐܝܬܝܢ. ܘܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܢ. ܗܐ ܚܨܪܗ ܪܒܬܐ. ܕܦ̇ܝܫ̣ܝܢܢ ܒ̈ܛܝܠܐ. ܚܙܝ.

We books are many, but there is no one who reads us. O what a great pity (?) that we remain unused!

- The note on fol. 1a tells us that this was one of the volumes brought to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis, A. Gr. 1243, A.D. 932. Under it are the letters H. PP.

- On fol. 135 b a monk named Sergius has written:

ܐܘ ܐܚܘܢ ܕܦ̇ܓܥ ܒܟ݂ܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܨܲܠܐ ܥܠ ܣܪܓܝ̣ܣ ܚ̇ܛܝ̣ܐ ܒܒܥܘ

- At a still later period one Solomon and his brother have written:

ܐ̇ܢܐ ܫܠܡܘܢ ܫܛܘܪܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܫܛܘܪ ܡܢܗ. ܐܠܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܒܥܘ. ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܘܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܟ.

- At the foot of fol. 47a a reader has written:

ܐܢ̇ܐ ܐܢܫ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܐܝ̇ܬܝ ܝܘܡܢ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝ̇ܠܕܬ݀ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩܝܛܝ. ܘܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܠܝ. ܘܡܛܠܗܕܐ ܟ̇ܬܒܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܕܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ܀

Vellum

141 ff. 12 3/8 × 9 3/4

The quires appear to have been originally 22 in number. They have been twice re-numbered with letters, not always correctly.

- Some of the leaves are slightly stained and the last is very torn.

The first 7 quires are now lost, with the exception of two leaves.

Each page is divided into two columns, except foll. 266 b and 267 a and b. Owing to differences in the size of the writing, the number of lines in each column varies from 33 or 34 to 60 or 61.

The character is a good, clear Estrangela of the viiith cent, or the beginning of the ixth.

- Of the long note on fol. 275 b the first six or seven lines have been erased, and the following words substituted:ܣ̣ܡܘ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܙ̇ܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܝܘܣܦ ܘܬܐܘܕܘܪܘܣ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܏ܩ̈ܕ ܘܪ̈ܘܚܢܝܐ ܘܦܓܪ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܬܓܪܝܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܡܗܝ̈ܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܦ ܡܛܪܘܦܘܠܝܣ ܕܟܠܗ̇ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܏ܘܫ. Hence it appears that the volume belonged at one time to the three brothers, Abraham, Joseph, and Theodore, from the city of Tagrit(#Tekrit). The date, which was at the end of the note, has also been erased, so that nothing is legible but the word ܒܕܝ̈ܘܢܝܐ

- On fol. 184 a the monk David, from the village of Telia near Mar'ash, has recorded his name,A. Gr. 1390, A.D. 1079. ܩܪܝܬ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗ̇ܢܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܚܛ̇ܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܥܫ ܡܢ ܬܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܫܢܬ ܐܠܦ ܏ܘܫܨ ܕܩܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܚܘܒܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܝ. ܘܗܝ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܦܠܓܐ ܐܡܝܢ.

- And on fol. 196 a the monk #Bar-sauma:ܐܢܐ ܒܪܨܘܡܐ. ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܕܩܪܝܬ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ̣. ܘܟܠ ܕܦܓܥ ܒܗ̈ܝܢ ܨܠܐ ܥܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ ܘܦܠܓܗ̇ ܠܗ.

- In small, neat letters, are the words ⲠⲒⲀⲄⲒⲞⲤ ⲒⲰⲀⲚⲚⲎⲤ. ⲠⲒⲀⲚⲀⲬⲰⲢⲎⲦⲒⲤ, "the holy John the anchoret."

- There is a Syriac note all too much mutilated to admit of being read in full. It begins ܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܚ̈ܛܝܐ ܘܒܫܡܐ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܐܘܟܝܬ ܡܫܡ̈ـ[ـܫܢܐ] ܓܘ[ܪܓܝܣ] ܘܝܘܣܦ . . . The names have been purposely erased.

- There is a second Syriac note of another date which is all too much mutilated to be read in full. It commences ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܢܚܪܡ ܠܟܠ ܚ̇ܣܡܐ ܕܡܡܪܚ ܘܓܪܕ ܫܡܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܏ܘܫ.

- There is a third Syriac note of another date which is all too much mutilated to be read
