Physical Description

Vellum, about 9 1/4 in. by 6 7/8, consisting of 13 leaves, most of which are much frayed or torn along the outer edges. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 25 to 29 lines. This manuscript is a palimpsest with the exception of fol. 9. The Syriac text has been washed off, to facilitate the reading of more ancient palimpsest texts, so that only fol. 9 now remains in its original condition. These leaves are remarkable for being doubly palimpsest.

Hand 1 (major, Unspecified Syriac script): It is written in a good, regular hand of the ixth or xth cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See manuscript contents.
