The bottom of the column and the beginning of the next are lost, leaving a gap of about 14 lines
of tablet before MS K resumes in col. ii. The text at this point is easily reconstructed from the
parallel passages in cols. iii and v, and we can therefore restore the gap according to ll. 120-37
and 220-37. However, part of this material has already been anticipated in ll. 31-4, and is
omitted on the grounds that it is unlikely to have been repeated in the same episode. This provides
us with exactly the 14 lines required to fill the gap, but since MS K is prone to double lines up,
the number of missing lines of text could well more than the 14 missing lines of tablet, and the
line-numbering from here is provisional.

The text of MS b breaks off here. About 17 lines of tablet are missing between the end of MS K
col. v at l. 227. Since MS K is now less constrained for space it is unlikely to have doubled up
many lines of poetry, and it is probable that we must assume there to be an overlap between the
fragmentary end of MS b col. v and the equally poorly preserved first extant lines of MS f col. vi.
