Part IX. See Plato III, fig. 3, 4, 5. This manuscript consists 
of 25 leaves. Some of them show a numbering on the left hand margin 
in very fine and minute figures. Thus, of the three figured leaves, fig. 3 
shows the number 30, fig. 4, the number 33, and fig. 5, the number 36. 
This circumstance proves that the manuscript is not completely extant, 
though from the fact that one of the extant leaves is only inscribed on 
one side, it may be concluded that the manuscript is complete at the 
end, and that some (10 or 12) of the initial leaves are wanting. Un- 
fortunately the last leaf is too damaged to be read. 
The leaves are mutilated at the lower corners, but sufficient is 
extant to show their full size. It is by 2| inches. Each leaf has 
six lines. Unfortunately, the writing is extensively obliterated, owing 
to the circumstance that the thick arsenical coating of the leaves, on 
which the letters were written, has been greatly damaged, apparently, 
by damp. In many cases the leaves firmly adhered to one another, and 
on separating them, the coating, together with the letters which it bore, 
came off. On the original leaves, portions of the obliterated letters, are 
still sufficiently visible to permit of their being occasionally identified ;
