In poem A, verse endings denoted by a punctus; in poem B this is unnecessary, as each verse starts a new line.
Fol. 1 recto contains the last two and one-half strophes (מ-ה) of אמרנו נגזרנו מתגרת לוחצינו (the refrain isאכלונו כילונו והשמו מעוננו). Also found in Cambridge TS NS 325.192, where it is attributed in the heading to Abraham ibn Ezra.
B. From the top of the verso to the end of fol. 2, under the heading stating that the following ḳinah commemorates the destruction of the communities of Maghreb ולה רצׄי אללה ענה נדב עלי אהל אלמגרב, starts איך נחרב המערב. The refrain: עיני עיני יורדה מים.
