Chrestomathia I, Caput IV, FINAL PAGE OF THE PIECE. Lines 36–51; marginal 40, 45, 50. Verse numerals 19–26. Ends at Gen 4:26, ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ, which closes 'Quattuor prima capita Geneseos'; Chrestomathia II (Matthew 5) begins on p. 79.
⚑ One square-bracket supplement, [.] at 4:19 — a supplied PUNCTUATION point, not a word. It
is the only bracket of that kind in the slice and it is worth noting that Nestle brackets even
a point when his exemplar lacks it.
⚑ UNCERTAIN: the verb at 4:25, transcribed ܘܚܟܡ below. The plate token is four or five letters opening with ܘ; ܘܚܟܡ is what Nestle uses at 4:1 and 4:17 and is the Peshitta's word here, but the shape was read at strip resolution only. Flagged rather than silently normalised.
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.

[.] at 4:19. No footnotes.
⭐ CHECKED against Barnes p. 7 (leaf n16).
AGREEMENT on the Lamech pericope, which is the densest name-cluster in the whole slice and therefore the best test of the extraction: ܠܡܟ · ܥܕܐ · ܨܠܐ · ܝܘܒܠ (twice, for two different sons) · ܬܘܒܠܩܝܢ · ܢܥܡܐ · ܫܝܬ · ܐܢܘܫ, all agreeing. Also ܟܢܪܐ ܘܩܝܬܪܐ · ܐܘܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܕܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܦܪܙܠܐ · ܩܛܠܬ ܒܦܘܪܥܢܝ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܒܚܒܪ̈ܬܝ · ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܒܥܐ · ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ.
The 4:25 verb (see work_note) reads ܘܚܟܡ in Barnes as well, which is why it is transcribed so here; but the Nestle plate is the weaker of the two readings and the flag stands rather than being quietly cashed in against the control — ⛔ agreeing with the control is not the same as having read the plate.
