- On the recto of the first leaf is a note, from which we learn that this manuscript was written at the expense of the monk Yeshūa' bar Gabriel, for a certain convent in the city of Callinicus, A. Gr. 1144, A.D. 833, when Dionysius of Tell-mahar was patriarch of Antioch, [See Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., p. 344; Le Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii., col. 1372.] Joseph patriarch of Alexandria, [See Renaudot, Hist. Patr. Alex. Jacob., p. 277; Le Quien, Or. Christ., tom. ii., col. 465.] Theodosius bishop of Callinicus. [Probably the same who is mentioned by Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., p. 344, and Le Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii., col. 1479.]
