Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-7):
قال الشيخ الفاضل أبو سهل سعيد بن عبد
العزيز النيلي إن الذي دعاني إلى تلخيص تفسير
جالينوس لفصول أبقراط مع قصور الوسع والاقتدار
على الاتيان بمثل ذلك النظم في الحسن والبيان ما ريئت
من تكاسل الأصحاب عن النظر في الكتب الكبار وميلهم
إلى المختصرات القصار لسرعة ملالهم
Ends (f. 91v, lines 14-19):
قال أبقراط من تزعزع دماغه فإنه يصيبه في وقته
سكتة [... الـ]ـتلخيص أكثر ما يعرض الزعزعة لأ[..]ـل
عند سقطة شديدة من موضع عالي فتنقبض القوة الـ[...]
وتكمن فكذلك والصوت فإن انهتك الدماغ
شيئ منه [...] يتعش وإلا فإنه ممكن أن يعود القوة
[...] إلى حالي [...]
