Filkǝsyos (CAe 1399) Löfgren 1974 notes that the text of this manuscript is especially close to the one in Berlin, Berlin State Library, Ms. or. quart. 344, while Zettersteen 1899 remarks that the colophons of the three first parts are identical with those in that manuscript. Zettersteen 1899 quotes the incipit of the text. Both note that the text is incomplete at the end but that only little is missing (Löfgren 1974: es fehlt aber nur wenig). Zettersteen 1899 notes that the number 217 has been skipped in the numeration of the questions.
