Layout
The left side of the text appears to be completely preserved even though the left edge of the sheet moves diagonally (relative to the lines of the text) to the right going from top to bottom; the left margin of the text thus seems to be following this irregular edge, which suggests that the text was engraved on the sheet after it took this irregular form. The text appears to wrap but only at the ends of the first two lines which are restored and from Line 6 to Line 7 which is completely preserved; the line breaks are between syllables.
