Incipit

"ܩܕܡܐܝܬ ܙܕܩ ܕܢܣܝܡ܆ ܡܿܢ ܫܡܐ ܘܡܿܢ ܡܐܡܪܐ܆ ܒܬܪܟܝܢ ܡܿܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܿ ܐܦܘܦܣܝܣ ܘܩܛܦܣܝܣ ܘܐܦܘܦܢܣܝܣ ܘܡܠܬܐ"1 "Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα καὶ τί ῥῆμα, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις καὶ κατάφασις καὶ ἀπόφανσις καὶ λόγος."3

Explicit

"ܣܩܘܒܠܝ̈ܬܐ ܡܿܢ ܓܝܪ܆ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܝ̈ܬܐ. ܠܘܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܨܝܐ ܗܼܝ ܠܗ ܟܕ ܠܗ ܕܢܫܪ. ܐܟܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܨܝܐ: ܕܗܠܝܢ ܣܩܘܒܠܝ̈ܬܐ ܠܗ ܟܕ ܠܗ ܢܗܘܝܢ"1 "ἐναντίαι μὲν γὰρ αἱ περὶ τὰ ἀντικείμενα, περὶ ταῦτα δ’ ἐνδέχεται ἀληθεύειν τὸν αὐτόν· ἅμα δὲ οὐκ ἐνδέχεται τὰ ἐναντία ὑπάρχειν τῷ αὐτῷ."3
