Iste thare , non ualens ferre iniurias sibi illatas de adorando igne in chaldea, ubi et filium suum primogenitum aram extinxerunt, peregrinatus est cum abraham et nachor et familia aram in charram mesopotamie , ubi, completis .ccv. annis, mortuus est.

This Terah, not wanting to bear the insults inflicted on him regarding the worship of fire in Chaldea, where they killed his firstborn son Harran, travelled with Abraham, Nahor and Harran's family to Harran in Mesopotamia, where, having lived for 205 years, he died.

Image excerpts from the manuscripts (as grouped by main graph versions) are the result of tool-based image annotation (via Cadmus) or manual extraction. For each manuscript version only these visually annotated manuscripts are listed here. For the grouping of all manuscripts we provide a separate list (Manuscript groups).
