- Colophon Ownership Inscription

On fol. 99b, there is a note, written by the scribe in a more cursive character, which states that this book was purchased by ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܡ(Μόνιμος?), priest of the church in the village of ܚܪܝܫܬܐ(perhaps , near Damascus, on the road to Ḥimṣ), in the year 785(A.D. 474), when Timotheus was bishop of that place and Monimus was periodeutes. The book itself was written in Edessa

- A later hand has erroneously numbered the quires from ܐ to ܝܒ.

- Another note on the fol.99b, now partially effaced, records that it once belonged to a person named Yeshūa

ܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܒܪ ܡܪܝ . . . ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ

- On fol.99a, after the doxology, we find a note, which mentions that the abbat Moses of Nisibis purchased this book at Rās-'ain, for the convent of S. Mary Deipara

ܙܒܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܝܫܥܝܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܪܝܫܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣ̈ܩܝܛܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܕܝܪܐ. ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܣܐ ܠܗ ܘܠܟܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܗ. ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܐܢܫ ܣܟ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ. ܡܢܗ̇ ܕܕܝܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܢܥܛܐ ܠܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܣ̇ܥܐ ܚܪܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܡܗܦܟ ܠܗ܀

- On the upper margin of fol. 59b we read in an old hand the Arabic words

- The same hand has numbered the discourses,, etc.

- Fol. 1b contains some Coptic letters.

- Fol. 1b contains an illegible Syriac note of comparatively modern date.
