Manuscript Features

Most folios are lost. Among the remaining, many are difficult to read because the script is rubbed off. At least three or four of the folios seem to belong to another text (according to the colophons), though their outer appearance is the same as the others' and their content is similar as well. They are numberd 70-72 and possibly 73.
