author: Mr. Ellis
title: A transcript of the preceding contents
This transcript was made, previously to the washing off of the Syriac text from the original 13 leaves, and is now bound with the manuscript.

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.
