| Notes: | Pleyte/Boeser use the sign = to indicate words which continue over multiple lines, but these are found in the codex. Due to the complexity of this text, we do not note minor divergences between our reading and that of Pleyte and Boeser, e.g., letters dotted in only one edition, a supralinear stroke marked in place of diaeresis, etc.; we do however note where letters are restored in one edition but not the other, or where punctuation is noted for a letter in one edition but not the other. |
