Begins (f. 3v, lines 1-4):
... الحمد لله الذي أبدع بقدرته جواهر عقلية مجردة واخترع
منها أجرامًا فلكية منضّدة وأحدث من اختلاف أوضاعها في عالم الكون والفساد أنواع المواليد حسب القابلية
والاستعداد وحصّل من عدل الأسطقسات في الكميات والكيفيات اعتدال مزاج الإنسان من بين سائر
الممتزجات والمركبات فسبحانه من منعم لا تكتنه نعماؤه ...
Ends (f. 133v, lines 1-3):
من كل واحد درهمين قرنفل وقاقلة كبار وصغر من كل واحد نصف درهم زنجبيل ودار فلفل
من كل واحد دانقين سكر طبرزد عشرين مثقالًا يجمع الأدوية مسحوقة الشربة من مثقال
إلى درهمين مع الورد المربى والله أعلم بالصواب وإليه المرجع والمآب ...
Colophon (f. 133v, lines 3-9):
... تم الكتاب
وإليه المرجع بفضل الله الملك الوهاب قال مولانا وشيخنا سديد الملة والدين الكازروني
أدام الله بركات أنفاسه العيسوية وأياديه الموسوية بمحمد النبي وعترته هذا ما التقطت
من القرابادينات المعتمد عليها ليكون الكتاب مغنيًا عن مطالع الكتب والحمد لله وحده
والصلوة والسلم على من لا نبي بعده وآله وصحبه وقع الفراغ من تعليقه سادس رمضان
المبارك سنة أربع وستين وسبعمائة هجرية صلوات الله وسلامه على صاحبها
وسلم تسليمًا
