(i.e. Erpenius and Scaliger's Proverbiorum Arabicorum centuriae duae, 1614) and 'Matth.' (most likely Peter Kirsten's Notae in Evangelium S. Matthaei, 1611). There are also references to 'Tit.' (probably the Arabic edition of the Book of Titus published in Leiden in 1612), 'Judae" (an Arabic version of St. Jude's Epistle published in Breslau in 1611), and Kirsten's Grammatices Arabicae (1608).
