| Summary | The text was accomplished on the 1st of Hatūr, 1105 of [the Martyrs Era]. The commissioner is al-muʿallim Jirjis al-Ṭūkhī and the scribe is Qass Suryāl b. Abū al-Manā. |

| Notes & references | The scribe states that he uses the Martyrs era which does not make sense in this context since it will be 1388 CE. Most probably, he meant the Hijri era which corresponds to 1691 CE. If this is correct, it means that the transcription of this manuscript took two years and the work was in separate codicological units that were joined together later because some of the first books in the manuscript were transcribed in 1693 and other later books were transcribed in 1691. |
| Summary | The accomplishment of the book of Job was on Wednesday the 2nd of Tūt of the year 1408 of the Martyrs era (1691 CE). |
