Translator's note. Psalm 90(91):6-7. Line 2.12 begins with the end of πράγματος ('thing'); its first letter is in the lost or illegible traces above. 'In darkness' is written twice (2.12-15), and 'noonday' is absent after 'demon', compared with the usual Greek text. Letters marked doubtful in the edition (2.15-19) are translated as read.
