Warsaw, 1865, p. 45) with a few minor variants and four additional verses.
- Instructions on the Torah reading (first day) and Shofar blowing follow, in 11 lines of Judeo-Arabic, in a smaller, more cursive hand.
- Under the headline עלות מוסף ראש השנה is the beginning of the Musaf service. The fragment reaches the High Holiday supplements to the third blessing, up to משיחך במרה בימינו.
