Text breaks are denoted by a punctus plus 2-3 spaces; catchword at end of fol. 2v, indicating it may be last fol. of a fascicle.; A fol. from a treatise on prayer including Talmudic citations. The format is enumerated "descriptions" [וצף] or qualifications, among classified lists. Fol. 1 contains 5 preconditions for proper prayer, which are numbered 21-25.; Towards the end of the verso, the author mentions that he has already dealt with the topic of uncleanliness in chapter 3 of this book. Fol. 2 contains 2-5 וצף of a similar list.; Among the known Gaonic monographs, the content here is most fitting to Samuel ben Ḥofni Gaon's Kitab al-ʹimma, a title found in a booklist published by Schechter: Saadyana / S. Schechter. Oxford : Deighton and Bell, 1903, p. 54.; Judeo-Arabic and Aramaic. Hebrew
