*	A parallel text is found in IOL Toch 247.

*	The upper margin of the recto (lower of the verso) is preserved. Ogihara 2009: 115 claims that the right margin is preserved, too, but this is not certain. On the recto, the lines continue clearly beyond the edge, and on the verso, they are abraded just before the edge: possibly, the leaf consisted of two pieces of paper glued together.
*	According to Broomhead 1962: 73, "in a very good state of preservation. Written in medium sized ductus".

n1	Beginning of line: pace Ogihara 2009: 115, tse is really not possible; with Couvreur 1954a: 47, one should rather read ntse.
