Commentary

Remarks

The lower margin of the recto (upper of the verso) has been preserved, as well as part of the string hole space, which covered at least two lines. The lines are now numbered as if the manuscript had 4 lines, but 5 (with 3 for the string hole space) would also be possible. The images on IDP are upside down.
