Colophon
Section at the end of a manuscript text.
(f. 330, lines 9-17):
The copyist of this book was finished on the twenty-fifth
From the month of April, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight
Christian in the city of Egypt protected by a poor slave
To his Lord, Ayoub, from the city of Nazareth in Galilee, his family
A blessed house, I hope everyone who looks at me
These despicable lines
He finds a mistake and corrects it
And he doesn't blame me for that
That's right
