The present writer visited the Wâdi Naṭrún in February 1923, and at the monastery known as Abû Maḳâr he found the fragment which is here published.
1 This fragment has been printed and discussed briefly in the Annual of the American Schools of Oriental Research, VI, pp. 108 ff.
2 The word was probably the syllable being at the end of the last line on the preceding page.
3 probably refers to the interrogative pronoun above.
4 By are meant the so-called operationes (divinae, humanae, et mixtae) in Christ.
5 may possibly be an error for M ‘lordship.’
6 probably means ‘will’ here rather than ‘counsel.’
7 On the writings of Dioscorus, see Lebon, Le Monophysisme sévérien, pp. 84 ff. In addition to the fragments of letters discussed by Lebon see also the “Encyclical Letter of the Archbishop Dioscorus to the Bishops,” preserved in Additional MS. 14530 in the British Museum, and translated by Ferry in The Second Synod of Ephesus, pp. 373 ff.
