"_" indicates an empty cell in the grid (i.e. the absence of an aspex, what we would represent as a zero).
 +
 
 +
"." indicates a space (without borders drawn) outside of the grid.
 +
 
 +
The symbol P with a stroke through its stem in the marginalia is interpreted as the abbreviation for the suffix "per".

  • Left side of Latin 9377 f.113

  • Right side of Latin 9377 f.113

Description of Fragment

The fragment consists of a single sheet of parchment, folded in half, with numerical tables written on both the left and right sides of the inside (flesh-side) of the parchment.


A fascimile of the pages can be viewed at [1]:

outside (reverse of left side)

left side

right side

outside (reverse of right side)

On the left side are 2 columns, each with 3 tables (and each with a cut off table at the bottom. On the right side are 2 columns each with 1 continuous table.


Aspices

0123456789


The Tables

Transcription Notation:

"_" indicates an empty cell in the grid (i.e. the absence of an aspex, what we would represent as a zero).

"." indicates a space (without borders drawn) outside of the grid.

The symbol P with a stroke through its stem in the marginalia is interpreted as the abbreviation for the suffix "per".

Left Side

Left Side, Column 1, Table 1

Ratios of 9 to 17

Multiples of 9n (n from 0 to 7) and 17n (n from 8 to 1). Note that exponents of the two factors add up to 8.
