Comments on Handwriting	Cowley doubts that the hand of the small fragments match that of the large fragment. TAD believes that fragment b is part of the document but not fragment c.
Comments on Text Layout	TAD's handcopy detaches Ibscher's fragment b and places it above and below large fragment (a). TAD omits fragment c and does not appear to have published it at all. It is not in the concordance of texts in TAD D.
