 A 17th @-@ century Latin note on a flyleaf ( from binding in a royal library ) states that the manuscript was given to a patriarchate of Alexandria in 1098 ( donum dedit cubicuo Patriarchali anno 814 Martyrum ) , although this may well be " merely an inaccurate attempt at deciphering the Arabic note by Athanasius " ( possibly the patriarch Athanasius III ) . The authority for this statement is unknown .
