This is the primary colophon of the literary work, the Filkǝsyos (The Book of Philoxenus of Mabbogh), not that of the manuscript witness. According to the colophon, the Filkǝsyos was translated in 1021 of the Era of the Martyrs, that is, 1304-05 A.D. It ascribes the translation of the work to the metropolitan ʾabuna Salāma II “the Translator”. ‘Filkǝsyos’, EAe, II (2005), 541a–542b (W. Witakowski) suggests that because Salāma was the metropolitan in the years 1348-1386, the sign for 20 (፳) should be substituted by the sign for 80 (፹).
