Colophon
: በዝየ፡ ተፈጸመ፡ ጸሎተ፡ ዕጣን፡ በሰላመ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ አብ፡ አሜን፡ ዝመጽሐፍ፡ ዘአጽሐፋ፡ አላቃ፡ ወልደ፡ ማርያም፡ ወወሀባ፡ ለታቦተ፡ ማርያም፡ ፀበላ፡ ሀገሩ፡ ለንጉሥ፡ ተፈጸመ፡ በሥምረተ፡ አብ፡ መስከረም፡ ፯ቀን፡ ፲፱፻፳፯ ዓመት። According to the colophon the Ms. was finished in the month of Maskaram 1927, probably year of mercy (= 1934/35 AD). The name of the original commissioner has been erased and replaced with the name of ʾalaqa Walda Māryām, in a secondary hand. The colophon also states that the Ms. was donated to the tabot of Māryām Ṣäbäla. The word Ṣäbäla is written over an erasure in the same hand as the name of Walda Māryām. Perhaps the Ms. was originally donated to another church.
