The bottom half of the folio contains a large, complex circular diagram. It features an outer border circle enclosing an intricate network of interwoven lines that form a symmetrical, knot-like pattern with multiple overlapping loops and pointed segments—resembling a stylized rose or a complex geometric "quincunx." Within the various compartments and intersections created by these lines, individual Syriac letters or short words are inscribed in very faint ink. This type of diagram is typical in medieval Syriac scholarly manuscripts for illustrating logical relationships, musical modes, or astronomical concepts, often associated with the works of polymaths like Bar Hebraeus.
