Remarks
Fragments (2) and (4) seem to share same writing hand. Each of the remaining fragments — (1), (3) and (6) — may be due to a different writing hand.
Due to severe loss of contents, all chants are only partially contained; chants in fragments (1) and (4) are unidentifiable; chants on right column of the verso side of fragment (2) are unidentifiable, as are the second chant on the [a] side of fragment (3) and the item on the [b] side of the same fragment.
