Thank you for this valuable translation Maclean Artuhr and Abouna Matheus, would it be possible to list the manuscripts where the syriac versions can be found? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your question. The office of Compline of Maclean's edition is taken from the printed edition of the Qdhamuwathar (qdam w batar) from the press of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission at Urmi (1894). Manuscipts used: 1) Qdhamuwathar. Copy belonging to Mar Gabriel of Urmi, written a.d. 1840, from a trustworthy and old Alqosb manuscript; Copy written in 1450 by Raban Gabriel of Mansuriya in the district of Diarbekir; Copy of Mart Mariam, Urmi, written in 1713; Copy without date, apparently written about 1680, giving the Bohtan text; an Urmi copy written in 1743. 2) Khudhra. Copy of Mart Mariam, Urmi, written about a.d. 1500; Copy of Guktapa village, written in 1697 by Mar Yonan of Ada (or Mar Abraham of all Azerbaijan?); Another copy by the same, somewhat older, in the possession of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission at Urmi; Copy in the possession of the Rev. Dr. Shedd, written by Qashisha Audishu of Alqosh, about 1730. 3) Abukhalim. Copy of Qudshanis, quite modern, but representing a very trustworthy old text; Copy belonging to Dr. Shedd, written in the Alqosh district about 1750; a copy belonging to Mar Gabriel of Urmi, of the same date. 4) Dawidha or Psalter. Copy belonging to the Rev. W. H. Browne, written in Urmi about 1680. These “Urmi” manuscripts are not manuscripts with modern shelfmarks. They were largely private or mission-held manuscripts in Urmi and elsewhere, supplied to him by the missionaries at Urmi, many of which were still in private/local possession. In 1898, Abraham A. Sarau and William A. Shedd produced: "Catalogue of Syriac Manuscripts in the Library of the Museum Association of Oroomiah College, Urmia". It contains 232 Urmia manuscripts. So there is a possibility that some manuscripts which Maclean describes by their former owners or locations can be identified in the later Urmia catalogue. But some of these manuscripts were probably not in the Museum Association collection. Look at his wording: “belonging to Mar Gabriel of Urmi”, “copy of Guktapa village”, “in the possession of...”. Someone could investigate the 1898 Sarau–Shedd catalogue and subsequent catalogues to determine whether any of Maclean's individual witnesses can now be assigned proper shelfmarks. In particular, the 1450 Qdhamuwathar, the c.1500 Ḥudrā from Mart Mariam, and the 1697 Guktapa Ḥudrā are sufficiently distinctive that they may be traceable.
