Text Appearing Before Image:
ame is trueto an even greater extent in the two faces of tablet V and the rectoof tablet VI; the wax is decayed and the writing beyond h; pe. The text contains Psalm xxx (Vulgate enumeration, Hebrew andEnglish Authorised Version xxxi) and xxxi ( =xxxii English version).Presumably the destroyed surfaces bore Psalm xxxii ( =xxxiii) ;and something that looks like uocijeratione in column i of tablet IV,verso, and congregans in column ii of the same, accords with this ;these words occur in verses 3 and 7 respectively of the psalm inquestion. But to decipher this part of the writing further is im-possible. I therefore confine myself to transcribing Psalms xxx-xxxi, which occupy from tablet I, verso, to tablet IV, recto. A blank is sometimes, but net aiways, left at the end of a verseof the psalter when this comes before the end of a line of writing.The irregularity in this respect makes stichometry difficult if notimpossible in the more injured parts of the book.
