Incipit

"ܐܒܐ ܐܪܣܢܝܣ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ̣ܐ ܒܦܠܛܝܢ. ܨܠܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ. ܡܪܝܐ ܕܒܪܝܢܝ ܠܡܚܐ."1 "Quand abba Arsène était au palais, il pria Dieu et dit: «Seigneur, conduis-moi pour que je vive.»"1

Explicit

"ܐܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܘ ܐܚܝ̈. ܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܕܕܝܪܝܘܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ. ܩܛܪܐ ܕܡܕܥܐ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ. ܘܣܬܪܐ ܕܡܚܫ̈ܒܬܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܥ̈ܐܠܢ ܠܠܒܗ. ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܒܗ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ. ܩܢܿܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܢܝܚܐ ܘܚܝ̈ܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ."1 "Mais écoutez, mes frères, voici la véritable pratique du monachisme et le lien de l’intelligence en Dieu et la destruction des pensées étrangères qui pénètrent son corps; et quiconque a son coeur tourné vers Dieu acquerra pour son âme le repos et la vie pour les siècles des siècles. Amen et amen."1
