Text type
commentary
The three joining fragments were published by Libertini in 1923 and reported in AE 1984 after the 1981 reprint of various of Libertini's papers; Manganaro rediscovered and published the lower right fragment (of which it seems the upper right corner was further damaged when he saw it) without recognising that it was part of this previously published text (likewise the report in AE presents it as a new fragment). The fragments have not so far been relocated.
