- - The title of the work, ኣረጋዊ: መንፈሳዊ, and the internal number of the monastic library, 296, are written on . - Amharic and Gǝʿǝz ʾandǝmta-commentaries and glosses are written in the margins throughout Text III. It seems that the scribe tried to make notes while the teacher was interpreting the text. That is why there are numerous abbreviations and unfinished phrases. Even though the commentaries are very concise they resemble those of the edited ʾandǝmta (መጻሕፍተ፡ መነኮሳት። ሦስተኛ፡ መጽሐፍ። አረጋዊ፡ መንፈሳዊ (Mäṣaḥǝftä mänäkosat.
