Thanks @mgbilby , overall this looks great! I've added a few comments for places to look at to make changes, but mostly small stuff. Well done!

This is great! You can add your specific editor ID you shared with us: mgbilby, so the @who would be http://syriaca.org/documentation/editors.xml#mgbilby

If there is a @source attribute, it does not need a @resp attribute

No need to add the title, editor, etc. elements here. They are permitted, but will be overwritten by the information in the CBSS bibliographic record on the website. More just for time saving you can leave these off

We want to limit the bibl/ptr/@target to just be CBSS URIs, but this is a great idea for inclusion! We need to add this to our encoding Guidelines, but the way we'd do this would be to use the Digital Syriac Corpus' overall URI (http://syriaca.org/cbss/M9AGRZUE). Then you can add a cited range like below to add a hyperlink to a specific section of the text on the Corpus:

<citedRange unit="entry" target="https://syriaccorpus.org/100#Head-id.3">https://syriaccorpus.org/100#Head-id.3</citedRange>

We hope eventually to have specific entries in CBSS for the texts on the Corpus, so you can cite each text specifically. But we haven't yet implemented that, so this is a valid workaround

Excellent. Thank you for constructing the cited range string for me to include. I like that solution.
