Notes on line 9:

The same text that we read in lines 1-8 is duplicated. (Recall that this papyrus is a double document, which means that the entire text was copied twice.) At the beginning of this line, the scribe has made a mistake, and has reversed the order of the two numerals, alpha and lambda. Can you identify the other numeral in this line?
