| Summary | The colophon itself is not given in the catalogue. Ward only mentions that it was written by Thalja from protected Hama. He mentions the date, 7030 since Adam, which he says corresponds to 1522 AD. Since this is incorrect, the date is arguably 7130 since Adam, which corresponds to 1622. |

| Colophon | كتبت وقد ايقنت يوم كتبت بأن يدي تبلى ويبقى كتابها فيا قارئ الخط قد كتبته تفكر في يدي وما قد اصابها يا قارئ الخط بالعينين تنظره لا تنسى صاحبه بخير اذكره ونسأل دعوة لله صادقة لعلها في صروف الدهر تنفعه |
| Summary | I wrote and knew on the day when I wrote it that my hand would wither but its writing would remain. O reader of this writing, I wrote it so that you think of my hand and what happened to it. O reader of the writing that you see with your eyes, do not forget ist owner. Think of him well. We pray to God in honesty that he may help with the circumstances of destiny. |
