The text that appears in this fragment is clearly structured on the common Passover Hagaddah. The fragment starts with the citation of Gen. XIV 13-14 and ends in Ez. XVI 4-5.
Yet the rest is a well-structured deviation from the standard text, with much biblical citation.
The small size, square letters and full vocalization may also indicate that this is intended for popular usage, possibly by ignorant laymen or children who would not benefit from the standard formal text.
