Commentary
Philological commentary
| Both for the recto and the verso, it is difficult to decide if at the right the ink is extremely abraded or if it is just the right margin. |
Remarks
| According to Broomhead 1962: 329 "[w]ritten in small medium ductus, clearly preserved, apart from a few abraded letters. The right edge of a five line manuscript." |
