Chrestomathia I, Caput II. Lines 12–26 of Caput II's own numbering; marginal 15, 20, 25.
Verse numerals 6–13. Two square-bracket supplements: [ܠ] at 2:6 and (on the previous page)
[ܐܦܝ̈].
Unvocalized Estrangela with seyame and consonant-distinguishing points; NO vowel signs. This is the layer Phase 0 recorded for the whole chrestomathy from the n180 probe — correct for this page, wrong as a section default (see c067-1.layer_finding).
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.

[ܠ] at 2:6.
⭐ CHECKED against Barnes p. 3 (leaf n12).
AGREEMENT, including the proper names, which is where a plate reader without the language produces plausible nonsense and where this check therefore earns most: ܦܝܫܘܢ · ܚܘܝܠܐ · ܓܝܚܘܢ · ܟܘܫ · ܒܕܘܠܚܐ · ܟܐܦ̈ܐ ܕܒܪܘܠܐ. Also ܘܡܒܘܥܐ ܣܠܩ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ · ܢܫܡܬܐ ܕܚ̈ܝܐ · ܠܢܦܫ ܚܝܐ · ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܪ̈ܝܫܝܢ.
⚑ Barnes prints ܘܡܫܩܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܠ ܐܦ̈ܝ ܐܪܥܐ without brackets — so, as at 2:5, Nestle's [ܠ]
marks his exemplar's omission, not a textual doubt.
✅ NOTHING to adjudicate on pointing: this page carries none. An unvocalized Estrangela page diffed against an unvocalized Estrangela control is the strongest check available anywhere in R3(a), and it came out clean.
