[N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.]

- Colophon

On fol. 126 a, after the doxology, there is a long note, which states that this manuscript was written by one Sergius, for the deacon George, his disciple Sergius of ܥܝܘ , and their relative Thomas, in the year of the Greeks 892, A.D. 581.

- Of the next note only the first two lines are in the handwriting of the ancient scribe, and these contain a later alteration. The more recent addition mentions one Leontius and his father.

ܘܠܬܠܡ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝ ܬܘܡܐ ܕܐܬܚܦܛܘ ܘ[ܥܡܠܘ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܒܝ̣ܢ.] ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܦܪܘܥܐ ܛܒܐ ܒܨܠܘܬ ܩܕܝ̈ܫܘܗܝ. ܐܡܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ. ܘܠܐܚܐ ܠܝܢܛܐ ܘܠܕܝܘܝܣܪ (?) ܐܒܘܗܝ ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܕܢܬܚܢܢܘܢ ܒܝܘܡ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܐܡܝܢ..

- On fol. 126 b there is another note in a somewhat more modern hand, a considerable portion of which has been partially erased. It refers to the presentation of this and some other books to the convent of Mār Mārōn , by the priest Matthew and his disciples.

ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܟܠ. ܘܒܪܗ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ. ܘܪܘܚܗ ܚܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ. ܠܡܪܝ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܬܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܘܠܒ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܨܘܦܢ̈ܝܐ ܕܥ̇ܡܪ ܒܥܘܡܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܛܘܒܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܪܘܢ ܘܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗ̈ܝ. ܕܩܢܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܥܡ ܟـ . . . ـܐ ܕܟܬܒ̈ܐ ܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܚܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ. ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܩܢܘܡܗܘܢ. ܏ܘܫ.

- Another note on the same page, also partially effaced, states that the volume was incorporated with the library of the convent of Mār Mārōn in the year 1056 (A.D. 745).

ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܟܬܒ̈ܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܡܪܘܢ ܒܫܢܬ ܐܠܦ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܫܬ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܝ ܡܪܝ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܓܝܘܪܓܝ ܕܚܪܒܥܡܖܝܐ (?) ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܟܬܒ̈ܐ ܕܘܛܪܪܐ (δευτεράριος) ܐܬܢܣܝ ܕ . . . ܪܬܐ ܘܡܪܝ ܣܪܓܝܣ ܕܕܠܡ ܘܡܪܝ ܩܘܙܡܐ ܕܡܥܪܬܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܡܪܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܕܪܡܬܐ.

- On fol. 1 a the original note has been erased (with the exception of the first line)

- In place of the original note on fol. 1 a, it is now stated there that the manuscript was presented to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the monks Matthew and Abraham of Tagrīt .

ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛܒ̇ܐ ܘܐܘܗܕܢܐ (sic) ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܠܡܬܝ ܘܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܬܓܪ̈ܝܢܬܝܐ ܕܬܐܚܦܛܘ ܘܣܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩܛܐ. ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܬܚܢܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܏ܘܫ.

- Underneath this note stands one of the usual anathemas, written in a current hand of the ixth or xth century.
