Title New Comedy
Author Unknown
Summary The content is not clear, but the general comic character is obvious enough. The storm (l. 4ff.) is an alegory (see l. 6), and the use of the highly poetical word "AHTES" points toward parody. It offers little more than the second half of catalectic iambic tetrameters.

Hands The text is written in a semicursive bookhand. Diacritical signs are not used, except probably in line 10. ( a change of speakers). The scribe tended to mark the diaeresis in cases where the first half ended on sigma by prolonging the horizontal stroke of that letter (ll. 1, 2 and7). The same is done with the sigmas ending lines 5 and 9.
