Incipit (Opening Line)

“ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܬܚܙܝܬ ܠܢ ܕܙܕܩ̇ܐ ܘܕܘ̇ܠܝܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ̇܇ ܗܝ̇ ܕܢ̣ܟܘܡ ܥܠ ܓܘܥܠܢܐ ܛ̇ܒܐ ܕܐܬܓ̣ܥܠ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܣܒ̈ܐ ܐܒ̈ܗܝܢ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܐ܇ ܥܠ ܫܘܪܝ ܩܘܝܡܗ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܐܡ̇ܕ܆ ܘܥܠ ܣܒ̈ܐ ܪܘܪ̈ܒܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܡ̇ܩܝ̈ܡܢܐ ܘܡܒ̈ܢܝܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ.” 2
“ It did not therefore seem to us to be just and a fitting thing that we should withhold the good deposit which was committed to us by old men our holy fathers concerning the original foundation of this our holy convent of the house of Mar John at Amida, and concerning the great old men who were the founders and builders of it from the beginning. ” 7

“And he persevered and kept and maintained his resolution even down to the present time also during the persecution of his convent, as well as of all his brethren the other convents in the district of Izla in the same persecution, down to the present time which is the year eight hundred and seventy-nine, from the year eight hundred and thirty-two, which makes forty-seven years from the beginning of the persecution of the same down to the year stated above.” 7
