The pastedown in the binding of the Garshuni (Arabic) manuscript N. 70 from the collection of Zafaran monastery (ZFRN 00070) includes a fragment of a Syriac Anaphora, as it can be noticed clearly from the structure of the prayers. Preliminary tests could find that it is from the Anaphora of Julius of Rome, exactly from the liturgical section before the Lord’s Prayer.
