The ms is not dated but copied in the life time of the author, towards the end of it, and most probably in Baghdad. The book was read to the author and signed by him.
Note in the hand of the author on f. 1r and on first folios of each juzʼ of the book: "qaraʼahu ʻalayya ilá ākhirihi Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan ibn ʻAlī al-Madāyinī; wa-katabahu al-Ḥasan ibn ʻAbd Allāh al-Sīrāfī."
With this is bound a fragment of the section on letter bāʼ (colophon title: Kitāb al-bāʼ) of a dictionary (ff. 356-365). The author of the dictionary is identified as Abū ʻAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Jaʻfar al-Tamīmī al-Naḥwī in the colophon (f. 365v). The fragment is completed in the hand of the ʻAlī ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Abī Ḥanīfah on 4 Rajab 368 AH [February 3, 979 AD].
