Remarks

*Small fragment from the left part of a five-line leaf with the left margin and leaf number preserved. Mentioned in Sieg and Siegling 1953: 323 sub no. 354 but not edited.

Philological commentary

n1-neś is most likely the end of an allative form.
n2Word separation unclear.
n3A small part of the ñ is still visible.
