- Each Piyyut is followed by the shorthand allusion to the recitation of the 13 attributes אל מלך, the common format for Seliḥot. Fol. 1 A. Starts אנא שמע שועתינו\ אל נא תעזוב אותנו, in 22 alphabetized strophes, four verses per letter.

Yerushalayim : Meḳitse nirdamim, 1993, no. 54), attributed to Eleazar ben Judah of Worms (the author of Rokeaḥ), which functions as a Sheniyah (Second Piyyut in the Seliḥot sequence).
Fol. 2 recto contains A. B: all but the first verse (א) of the R. Ḥai Gaʾon's אנה עזב אל המון מעיו, one verse per letter and 2 additional verses of the acrostic signature האיי. Published from this source by H. Brody: Yediʹot ha-Makhon le-ḥeḳer ha-shirah ha-ʹIvrit, V. 3 (1937), p. 23-25.
Verso B: Starts אך בך לדל מעוז בצר, possibly attributed to Solomon ha-Bavli, two letters per verse.
C: The Aḳedah איתן לימד דעת בטרם ידעך כל (Thesaurus of Medieval Hebrew poetry / Israel Davidson. New York : JTS, 1924-1933, 3206).
