APPENDIX I

THE ALPHABETS IN SYRIAC MANUSCRIPT B

On the opposite page is a photographic reproduction of folio 13c-d of Or. Add. 14620, designated in this work as B. Only the column at left (d) and the line of characters across the bottom of both columns are of interest here. The rest is practically the same as A, and the collation is found in its proper place under folio 60d.

The caption at the top of B folio 13d is: "The alphabet of various scripts."

The words at the foot of the first subcolumn to the right in 13d are: "The Greek of the books," that is, the uncials.

At the foot of the second subcolumn: "Of the numbers," that is, the minuscules, used in writing numbers.
