Colophon:

- Colophon

In the second column of the same page as the colophon, there is an imperfect note, stating that this book was written at Edessa, A.H. 158 (A.D. 774—5), by the priest Cyprian of Nisibis , for a person whose name and place of residence have been erased (those of Severus and Harrān having been substituted).

- Doxology

The doxology and the first part of the above note, at the foot of the first column, have been erased, with the exception of the following words:

ܘܐܬܕܟܪܝܗܝ̇ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܒ̣ܕܟ. ܡܐ ܕܗ̇ܘܐ ܥܦܪܐ ܘܩܛܡܐ ܒܠܒܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ

- In place of the erased portions above we find the following lines, informing us that Moses of Nisibis , abbat of the convent of S. Mary Deipara, bought this volume from the family of the priests Joseph and Melchizedek, and the deacon Lazarus, the sons of Zĕlūphīn of Hārran .

ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܒܪܐ ܘܠܪܘܚܐ ܏ܩܕ. ܙܒܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܝܬܝܐ ܕܝܘܣܦ ܘܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܩ̈ܫܝܫܐ ܘܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܏ܡܫ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܙܠܘܦܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܚܪܢ. ܡܘܫܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣ̈ܩܝܛܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܕܝܪܐ. ܏ܘܫ.

- On fol. 88 b there is a note in the usual form, which states that this was one of the 250 volumes presented to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis , on his return from Bagdad, in the year 1243, A.D. 932.
