Notes:

There are missing fols. between fol. 2 and fols. 3-4 (=137 fol. 2-136 fol. 2), but they might be from the same essay. They deal with different types of biblical prophecies, classified into 4 prototypes.; Fol. 1 (Halper 136.1) and its continuation at the top of fol. 2 (Halper 137.1) contain a numbered list of laws on various topics. The fragment contains from the end of ז to the beginning of י, which is interrupted after the first word.; Although all the excerpts appear in Talmud or Midrash, they are recorded here in a version that is closest to their appearance in Soferim, which, in its various versions, is the only source common to all the material. ז is a laconic presentation (the beginning and end) of an article similar to material in the Talmudic passage Berakhot 61b l. 53-62a l. 13.; This article is related to the end of Soferim version II: Masekhet Soferim / Michael Higger [ed.]. New York : Blokh, 1937]. ח is comprised of material in Soferim III 17 and V 9. ט-י is a laconic presentation (beginning and end) of Soferim IV. The orthography is occasionally primitive and plenum.; After one line on the second folio (137 fol. 1a), the previous is interrupted with the beginning of a philosophic essay in a primitive, phonetic Judeo-Arabic.; Hebrew, Aramaic, and Judeo-Arabic Hebrew
