Ends (f. 116v, lines 3-7):
... فهذا
القدر المقتص من هذا المختصر مما لا يسع الطالب المحصل جهله ومن أراد
الزيادة على ذلك فيكفيه أصله ومن أراد التبحر في التصرف بالمجهول
بالأعداد المتناسبة فعليه بالمعونة التي فاقت كتب هذا الفن
قاطبة والحمد لله رب العالمين

وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد

شهر شوال
على يد الفقير
إلى رحمة علام
الغيوب إبراهيم
بن ملا أيوب

والحمد لله
