The colophon is followed by an excerpt from VI.10 (f. 183ra-183va), which had been omitted in loco, f. 89ra. The colophon and the excerpt from VI.10 have been added by a different hand. Glosses by the scribe and a few glosses by a later hand, e.g. f. 13r, 33v, 69r. Added notes in Hebrew, mainly numbers, in the upper left corner of f. 183v.
