محمود سلطان جلال الدنيا والدين جاني بك خان
أسعده الله في الدارين وأيده وخلد جلال ممالكه
Ends (f. 225v, lines 11-14, defective at end):
... لأن التدبير اللطيف فهم
لا يخلف يدل ما يتحلل منهم على ما ينبغي ويبرز المواد التي تغمرها رطوبة
الغذاء ويظهر في الجسد لأن (؟) الجسد والنار به وتحللت الرطوبات المحتاجة إليها
فلا جرم يكون للخطاء في التدبير اللطيف للأصحاء والمرضى أشد وأعظم ضررًا
