(This recension is different from Maṣḥafa falāsfā ṭabibān (preserved in , (in ms_i3) and , (in ms_i1)), especially in the second part of the work. Several sentences are missing, others are more developed or followed by a commentary. The sentences preceding and following Plato's section are arranged in a different order. The three paragraphs with the three anachoretes' sentences are included here at the end of the work together with other sentences by anachoretes, which in the other recension are included throughout the work.)check the viewerFols 1r–2r Introduction
