Behold, we have written a history of the repose of our King Yoḥannǝs, God loving and Orthodox King of Kings of Ethiopia. All the days of his reign have been eighteen years and one month (and in princedom four years). He reposed on Maggābit 2, 1880 year of mercy, on Sunday, in the year of Matthew the Evangelist. The superscript words ወበምስፍና፡ ፬ዓመት። were added in a different hand (?), in pen. The date, 2 Maggābit 1880 A.M.

Furthermore, the actual day indicated in the note was not Sunday, but Saturday. The text of the note is followed by a series of Ethiopic numerals (writing exercise?), in a different hand. -
