Notes:

• Verse endings denoted by a sof pasuḳ.
• The order of the commandments here is close to that of the Hebrew Azharah אתה הנחלת תורה לעמך (Davidson, Thesaurus of Medieval Hebrew Poetry. New York : JTS, 1924, 8788א), although this is apparently not a translation of it. Fol. 1 of the fragment contains, parallel to the Hebrew version (in Goldschmidt and Frenḳl, Maḥazor le-Shavuʹot / Yonah Frenḳel, E.D. Goldschmidt [ed.s]. Jerusaelm : Koren, 2000, p. 628-629), ll. 88-96.
• Fol. 2 parallel to (ibid. pp. 633-634) ll. 121-128; the Judeo-Arabic reflects Arabic pronunciation , as "sun consonants" are orthographically assimilated; verses on fol. 1 are monorhymed אר-, on fol. 2 אן-.
• Halper's notes: Though the scansion requires the words to be read in classical fashion in the majority of cases, the orthography is vulgar or rather phonetic. Sometimes ל of the definite article, when it is to be assimilated with the following letter, is entirely omitted. Thus النيرن = אניואן, the ו and י are often used to represent short u and i, respectively, as for instance, يخرج = יוכרגו ; or عشر = עושר ; or باى = בולי (metre demands the reading bula); or انا = אינא ; or فاذا = פאידא. As a rule no diacritical marks are used. Only ظ is a few times represented by ט֯, and ض by צ֯. One word is vocalized in a peculiar wat, and doubtless represents the vulgar Arabic pronunciation in Tiberian vowels. It is الخار = אלגַאִיר (the vocalization would suggest الخاىًر). The following line may be given as a specimen of the metre: ان بغت من بنات هرون انثى حرقت فى توقد النيران = אן בגת מן בנאת הרון אנתא חרקת פי תוקד אניראן.
