"Reprinted from the 'Bulletin of the John Rylands library', volume 11, 1927."
The new life of John the Baptist was written by Serapion, bishop of a town in Egypt, "if we are to believe the contents of the story". cf. p. 234.
Of the uncanonical psalms, "Psalm 1 is found in many mss. of the Syriac Psalter where it is known as Ps. CLI ... The four other psalms are only found in the interesting work entitled Durrāsha, 'Discipline', or more generally maʼwātha, 'Centuries', of the Nestorian writer Elijah of Anbar".--p. 288.
