Among the many homilies in the manuscript, there is a discourse attributed to Timothy, the Presbyter, on “Simeon, the Elder and the Presentation of Our Lord into the Temple.” The Syriac text of this homily matches the Greek text of a homily attributed to Timothy, presbyter of Jerusalem, on the same subject; however, the Syriac unpublished witness contains some interesting variations in the form, structure, and content distinguished from the published Greek version in CPG 7405 (PG 86:252).
