The vertical line appended to the upsilon at the end of the first word, πούχου, is probably the beginning of a sigma, as we will see later in line 15. You can also note the addition of a mu in the space between this line and line 5; the scribe apparenetly forgot to write the mu twice. Ligatures appear between many of the letters, and at the end of the line, the joins between the letters η λ and ε makes the word difficult to distinguish.
