Commentary

Philological commentary

*At the lower right corner of the recto, a piece is attached which seems to belong there, although it is not attached in the right way.

Remarks

*According to Broomhead 1962: 299 "[w]ritten in small ductus, and very clearly preserved it is the middle of a five line manuscript".
