68 rubric : pigm not marked as preserved at Aphrodisias by MHC 2023, p. 106 (by accident) 68.16: last letter read by JMR ALA1989, 231, p. 302, ch. XXXIV.ii and clearly visible on photo (Plate 30) 68.19-20: Line spacing on the Troezen fragment suggests that there may have been a lost chapter heading here, separating the rope materials from the quasi-medicinal plants. 68.28: typography of MHC 2023, p. 108 suggests that [op]opanacis attested at Aphrodisias (in error?). Actually only from Greek at Troezen and Latin at Halicarnassos (see MHC 2023, p. 126).
