There is no indication of sizes, but the letters in ll. 26-8 are shown as smaller than those preceding. Ligatures: ΜΗΝ, l.5 (twice); MM, l.6; MM, l.8; MM, l.10; NH, l.11; NH, l.13; MHN, l.14; NM, l.16; HN, l.17; HN , l.20 (twice).
The major difference between this version and earlier publications is that re-examination of Deering's drawing has given a different idea of the space lost at the right, which varies more than Leake's publication indicated.

l. 11, ὡρισμ[ένῃ προθεσμίᾳ τελέσωσιν· τ]- cj. W., Reynolds, but this makes a very unsatisfactory word division.

l. 18, The spaces on either side of συντεταγμένους in D.'s copy were left blank, perhaps indicating that there was nothing there; but examination of his notebook shows that it was his practice to leave blanks also where he had failed to read letters.
l. 19, Ἔ]πε[στι W., Ἕ]πετα[ι Reynolds.
ll. 20-25: W. and Reynolds deduced from L.'s publication that there were no letters missing on the right; but D.'s drawing shows a ragged edge, apparently indicating a break. The supplements here are largely those suggested by W. and Reynolds, but in a different position.
