Commentary

Philological commentary

*A remarkable fragment that looks as if it is from a leaf glued together from two leaves and afterwards folded out – the more so because there is a big space in the middle and the left text is upside down, and also because it has a line in the middle which is approximately the line which mirrors the edges. Contradicting this is the fact that there are a recto and a verso that are not the same. I divided both recto and verso in two, just as they are on the CD.
