Syriac

title: Acts of one of the Councils of Ephesus
The older text is now most distinctly legible on foll. 27 and 28. Judging by the running title, which is still visible on foll. 30 a and 25 b, at the foot of the page, this manuscript contained, among other things, the Acts of one of the Councils of Ephesus.

author: Epiphanius
title: Anakephalaeosis of Epiphanius
The older text also comprised the Anakephalaeosis of Epiphanius; at least there is written on foll. 24 b and 29 a, in slanting Greek uncials of later date, the same list of heretical sects that we find appended to that work in Add. 12,156 [...], fol. 137 a.

Vellum leaves, some of which are slightly stained and torn. This palimpsest portion (see Add. 17,198, foll. 1-6 and 23-32, upper text [...] ) originally formed part of a manuscript written in three columns.
