- After the doxology, we read the words:

ܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܟܬ̣ܒ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ̣ ܘܢܐܠܦ.

- Ownership Inscription

In the upper part of the second column of fol. 109a, there is a note, which says that the book was the property of the lady Olympia:

ܕܪܚܡܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܩܘܪܐ ܐܠܘܡܦܘ ܕܘܟܪܢܗ̇ ܠܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܐܡܝܢ܀ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܢܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܐܡܝܢ.

- In the lower part of the same column, there is a note in a cursive character, stating that it belonged to a certain convent, the name of which has been erased, and that of the solitaries of ܒܢܬܐ substituted.

ܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܪܘܚ̣. ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܝܚ̈ܝܕܝܐ ܕܒܢܬܐ ܟܠ ܕܫܩ̇ܠ ܠܗ̇ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ̇܇ ܐܘ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܡܢܗ̇ ܐܘ ܕܢܦܚܡ ܡܢܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܡ̇ܦܢܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܪ̈ܝܗ̣. ܗܘ̣ܐ ܝܕܥ̣. ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܐܝܟ ܡܚܠܨ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ܀.

- A third note, of still later date, names as its owner the deacon Sergius:

ܕܫܡܫܐ ܣܪܓܝܣ ܩܢܟܝܐ.

- On foll. 1b and 2a there is a list of books and various articles of monastic dress and furniture, apparently lent by the librarian and steward of the convent of Mary Deipara to the monks John bar Simeon, Michael the priest,Měkīm the priest, and Zachariah.
