Begins (f. 82r, lines 4-6 and 82v, lines 6-7):
الحمد لله فالق الأصباح وخالق الأرواح فاطر
العقول والحواس ومبدع الأنواع والأجناس

مختصر في علم الأصول وهو مرتب على أبواب
Ends (f. 104r, lines 12-15):
... وأما ب
فألأنا إذا سمعنا الصوت علمنا جهته وذلك على آناء
أدركنا الصوت في الخارج ولأنا نسمع كلام الإنسان
من وراء الجراء ولو كنا لا نسمع الكلام إلا عند وصوله
