Chrestomathia I, Caput I. Lines 33–52; marginal numerals 35, 40, 45, 50 in the right (outer) margin, this being a recto. Opens mid-verse 21 and breaks mid-verse 30.
⛔ SECOND VERSE-NUMBERING FAULT, of the same kind as p. 67 and worth reporting together with it. Verse 30 begins on line 51 at ܘܰܠܟܽܠܳܗ̇ ܚܰܝܘܬܳܐ ܕܰܐܪܥܳܐ, which carries NO numeral; the ³⁰ is printed at the head of line 52, against the SECOND of the two parallel ܘܰܠܟܽܠܳܗ̇ … clauses (ܘܰܠܟܽܠܳܗ̇ ܦܳܪܰܚܬܳܐ ܕܰܫܡܰܝܳܐ). Both faults attach a numeral to the second of two closely parallel openings; that is a compositor's eye-skip, not a versification.
Barnes, PENTATEUCHUS SYRIACE (post Samuelem Lee), BFBS London 1914 — archive.org ktavadeauritaauk00lees, title page verified at n6. PD. ⭐ PAGINATION CALIBRATED THIS PASS: printed page = leaf − 9 (n10 = p. 1, Gen 1:1–13, signature B; n11 = p. 2, running head ܣܦܪܐ ܕܒܪܝܬܐ + I. 14—28; agreement on two independent pages, per MAP.md's own method). Barnes prints unvocalized Estrangela with seyame and diacritic points, verse numbers in the outer margin against the line on which a verse opens, * as verse divider and ❖ at the close of a paragraph. See research/syriac-peshitta-editions.md
Read from the plate, line by line, off 3.0–5.5x crops cut by horizontal projection (one strip per 2–4 printed lines); the 1.75x half-crops of tools/quarry_fetch.sh are NOT sufficient for pointed Serto and were used only for orientation. Consonantal skeleton, seyame, word division, punctuation, verse numerals, marginal line numerals and square-bracket supplements are read directly. ⚠ HONEST LIMIT, per the never-read-codepoints-by-eye rule: the West-Syriac vowel points are legible AS SHAPES at this resolution (zqofo prints as a small circle, ptoho as an open triangle, and so on — calibrated on ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ, which recurs on every page), but the finest layer — rukkakha/qushshaya bars, the ܗ̇ point, linea occultans — is recorded where seen and is not warranted point-by-point. The vocalisation below is therefore a plate reading at the word level, not a certified diacritic-level edition; a blind control on a sample ([[reference_arabic-control-rule]]) is still owed before this text is shipped.

⭐ CHECKED against Barnes p. 2 = leaf n11 (running head I. 14—28) and the head of p. 3.
AGREEMENT on every phrase read, including the ones a plate reader is most likely to invent: ܕܐܪܚܫܘ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܠܓܢܣ̈ܝܗܘܢ · ܘܟܠ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܦܪܚܐ ܠܓܢܣܗ · ܦܪܘ ܘܣܓܘ ܘܡܠܘ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܒܝܡ̈ܡܐ · ܢܥܒܕ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܨܠܡܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܢ · ܒܢܘ̈ܢܝ ܝܡܐ · ܘܒܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܕܡ ܒܨܠܡܗ ܒܨܠܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܝܗܝ ܕܟܪ ܘܢܩܒܐ ܒܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ · ܘܟܘܒܫܘܗ̇.
⭐ DIVERGENCE, apparatus only: the placement of ³⁰ (see work_note). Barnes's margin puts 30 against the line that opens ܘܠܟܠܗ̇ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ, which is where the verse in fact begins. Nestle's numeral is one clause late. Nestle's TEXT is not corrected.
⚠ Barnes cannot check the pointing.
