| Comments on Handwriting | Although the writing shows a very high level of consistency, the remains of this lot are too fragmentary to easily determine whether they were written by one and the same scribe. | |
| Comments on Text Layout | Verso: blank. Line x+1: possibly a sort of headline. From line x+2 onwards, the lines are splittedd in 2 columns, and possibly each line is reffering for the line in the column nextby. The lines of the first column are therefore labelled as "a" and the ones from the second column as "b". | |
