f. 1r-v, lower portion: The annotating hand on this fragment is certainly English. The reverse of the scrap is heavily covered in a glued-on scrap of paper and bears the stains of the glue that affixed this sheet to the inside of a book cover.
f. 1r-v, lower portion: Cropping of one column, pasted-on paper on the reverse, very high number of abbreviations make this text very hard to read; the incipit field simply inserts a piece of text from the uncropped column and from the unpapered side.
Explicit, f. 1r-v, lower portion: propter stellate quasi motus orbis supernum et volvitur annus viii mille quia omnes annos continet.
