General Notes
One wonders what "an exemplary report/recitation of Saint Ephrem" means? I suspect it refers to a manuscript tradition ascribed to Ephrem. Furthermore, the date 1252 (Greeks) which is presumably in the 10th century CE, is far too late for the life of J.o.E., who is dies at the beginning of the 8th century CE. Syntactically, "who died in a Chaldean land" is not marked as connecting with "Year 1252 of the Greeks," so I would take this as the date of the manuscript from which the current scribe is writing (Moore).

Textual Notes
Readings are clear and agree with Birol, I suspect, however, that the final word BGW on fol. 17v is not an error, as indicated in Birol's edition, but rather a resumptive word to ensure the order of the following folios (Moore).
