The main text was copied in a mixed minuscule<\/i> script, slanting slightly to the right, in brown ink. There is moderate variation in letter size.<\/p>
Syllabic abbreviations appear throughout the line, while superscript word endings appear only at the end of lines. Breathings are round, and mute iota<\/i> is absent or subscript. There is decorative use of the double dot, and accentuation of all lengths of nomina sacra.<\/p>
Distinctive letter-forms include minuscule eta<\/i> with a broad space after the initial ascender (e.g. recto, col. b, lines 2, 14<\/a>) and a large minuscule upsilon<\/i> curved inwards at the top (e.g. verso, col. a, lines 9, 11<\/a>).<\/p> Punctuation used includes the upper point, lower and middle commas and full stop.<\/p> Headings and eirmoi<\/i> have been copied in the same style in red ink.<\/p><\/div><\/div>"
