Commentary
Remarks
| Partly edited as no. 344 frgm. f in Sieg and Siegling 1953: 225. Small fragment from the middle of a leaf. This mansucript is basically written in the common archaic script type, but it already shows standard-shaped signs beside the old ones (e.g., open-shaped 〈ma〉 beside closed-shaped); cf. Malzahn 2007a: 264. |
