| a3+ | ... of the self is not to be said... by humans... |
| a4+ | ... is to be done against the enemy. |
| a5 | One mustn't be immediately trustful. |
| a5 | Now, if a friend.... |
| b1 | ... to do... |
| b1+ | ... thoughts... praise for the enemy is to be renounced. |

| b4 | ... woman... |
| b4+ | ... a word is not to be told... not... friend (?). |
