Small-sized neumes placed around a red line. Custodes. The axis of the notation is slightly slanted (the square puncta look rather like parallelograms). The difference between a lozenge and a more or less square punctum is usually clearly defined. The lozenge is used consistently either in isolation or as part of compound neumes (ascending and descending patterns).
Text and notation in black. Initials and rubrics in red.
Fragment in poor conditions, it was used as book cover but now removed. Fols. Ar-Bv were the external cover. The fragment has been severely trimmed to fit the size of the book if covered. Fol. Ar: the page is nearly complete without any damage. A few pricking holes. The left of the page is particularly darkened, thus, the texts are hardly legible.The top right corner is slightly folded. Fol. Av: large part of the page is illegible due to some layers of paper (?) previously pasted here and now removed. The right of the page is notably darker than the left, with multiple creases, suggesting that this area originally covered the spine of the book. Fol. Br: the right edge is trimmed and damaged (with loss of contents). The top text line and the bottom of page are mostly illegible due to damping and the remenants of layers pasted here and now removed. Several creases are present towards the right of the page. Fol. Bv: part of the texts (top right corner and at the bottom) is illegible due to damping.

Av: 2 columns per page; left column: 4 legible text lines with no notation, followed by 9 with notation, and 5 with no notation; right column: 23 text lines with no notation, 3 with notation, 1 extra line of notation without text.
