Notes

• Title supplied by cataloger (viewed on November 18, 2015)
   
• Written in 5 lines per leaf (51-9-5.1) and 4 lines per leaf (51-9-5.2).
   
• Leaves of palm leaf with two central holes approximately 21 cm (51-9-5.1) and 19.5 cm (51-9-5.2) apart; faded red edges on leaves of longer text (51-9-5.1); most ends damaged, 2 leaves partial (f. 17-18), and one comprised of 3 small fragments (f. 19).
