Signs on manuscripts (dots, letters, stars...)

Please provide samples of these symbols, by showing them in a page and with readable Syriac sentences; that way we can take a look at them and possibly provide some insight.

Thanks for you question.

For instance, let's take the Kabhouris codex. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dukhrana.com/khabouris/">http://www.dukhrana.com/khabouris/</a><!-- m -->
In Matthew page 24 : Matthiew 11,7 or Mathew 11,11
In front of the first verse there is an infinity sign with two red dots ; in front of the second verse there is twice this symbol and something written on the right in the margin.
That is what I am talking about.
In the transcription, they have been written by ~ in red.
If you open the Clarendon edition of the Peshitta you can see that they are also written.

Is there a study over these signs ?

They can not be only decorative symbol separating the text units.

Thanks.
Samuel L.
