- According to a note, this was one of the 250 volumes brought to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis, A. Gr. 1243, A.D. 932.

- There is part of a perhaps somewhat earlier note, concluding with one of the usual anathemas.

- On the verso of the same leaf, two readers, of comparatively recent date, have recorded their names,Behnām and Gregory.
