From fol. 61a on, change of hand (see especially the fāʼ and the qāf) and ink. The paper seems to be the same throughout: light cream glazed paper with vertical laid lines visible. Some marginal notes. Collations notes. Notes of audition on the margins (see fol. 42a, 59b, 61b) ; stops after fol. 61. Seal on fol. 1a, repeated on fol. 125a.
