This short note presents the transcription and translation of the old fragment of a manuscript of commentary on themes from the Gospel of Matthew which was found tucked at the end of a manuscript of Nägärä Maryam (EMML 7229, fols 122r–123v). The fragment probably dates back to the late Aksumite to early Zagʷe period and is likely to be a translation of a commentary by an early church scholar. The Vorlage remains unknown.
