Eaclı page has a decorative space of the shape of a sacrificial altar of thirteen padas left out in the middle, its minimum and maximum measurements being 0.3' and 1.3" respy.
There are threc cases of supra lineam additions, propria nant, but there are no corrections not any marginalia. In line 2 on folio 1 a space of two letters is leít out since the writing on the obverse has spoiled the paper on the reverse. Erasures are indicated in ways more than one viz. by not drawing the head-line of the letter to te erased, by placing two or three vertical lincs above the letter to be erased or the portion thereof desired to be crased.
