1 This fragment has been printed and discussed briefly in the Annual of the American Schools of Oriental Research, VI, pp. 108 ff.

2 The word was probably the syllable being at the end of the last line on the preceding page.

3 probably refers to the interrogative pronoun above.

4 By are meant the so-called operationes (divinae, humanae, et mixtae) in Christ.

5 may possibly be an error for M ‘lordship.’
