Commentary

Philological commentary

*At the end of line a1 a little folded piece obscures Broomheads [ke].

Remarks

*According to Broomhead 1962: 131 "[w]ritten in small ductus, and very clearly preserved, it appears to be near the right edge of a five line manuscript, the schnurloch being visible on left."
