An interlinear Persian gloss is written in red ink. Circular segmented 'Ayah' (verse) markers are drawn in black, yellow, blue and red. The name of Allah is written in red throughout. Enclosed in a three-line border, two red and one blue. Contemporary marginal annotations on folio 270r. Folio numbers are written in the top margin and are presumed to be original. Extensive insect damage to edges of the folios.
