*	This leaf includes ca. strophes 28-34 of the Drohavarga (XIV) in a 4x25-syllable-metre (rhythm = 10 [or 5/5]/8/7). Strophe numbers are missing, but from the leaf count recto and verso side can be determined; this leaf immediately follows THT 34. The translation is even less secure than that of THT 34.

*	Glass cover broken, remnant of the left side of leaf 194, damage similar to THT 34.
