The ancient biblical fragment in Vienna ÖNB Cod Syr 3 was among the first tests of ISP. While the content of this fragment can imply its biblical content; however, a deeper study needs a precise identification of its texts. While using Google Lens to test the ability of HTR, it could link it with the available online Syriac Gospel texts.
