| Note (general) | According to R. Marichal, these fragments show three different hands (ABC, DEF, GHI) and come from at least three different documents; however, the direction of the fibres show that frg. B belonged to a different text than frgg. AC, and frg. I from frgg. GH. The nine fragments would then be remains of five different documents. (PH);Three small fragments bear no writing. |
