Script, Hands
There is only limited evidence from the original script visible in this strip. It is found in the stub of the second leaf that formed the bifolium. This includes instances of a, l, q and 2-shaped r, as well as a red rustic capital (I?) and a capital V filled in orange. The recto shows a marginal addition with a signe de renvoi which may be the work of the same scribe.
Despite the limited evidence, it is safe to assume that this was part of the same manuscript as FMS/2 and FMS/2a. See their description here.
