الحمد لله على تواتر الأية وأشكره على تطاهر نعمائه حمدًا

تحقق بعظمته وكشر يليق بكبرائه وأما بعد فإني

قد اختصرت من الكتاب المعنون بتذكرة الحاضر وزاد

المسافر في أصول الصناعة الطبية أعني الجزء العلمي

وإنه كتاب صغير المظر كبير المخبر ولقبته بالروضة

الطبية ...

Ends (ff. 81v, line 13-82r, line 1):

... فأما إذا تغيرت عن قوتها فلا يتم

لها هذا بل تكون تختلف عوضًا عما تحلل أو دون

ذلك مثلما يعرض للشيوخ والذين سيتولي عليهم
