| Pages/Columns (notes): | Note that the designations “recto” and “verso” are reversed in Crum. Here, we assume that the recto is the side written on first and the verso the side written on second. As the remains of Arabic and Coptic texts were written first (cf. Crum 1909: p. 10), we consider this side the recto; verso: 16 lines. |
