    On p 19, next to the first entry for bread, in the left margin are several short diagonal lines. All the entries following that one are marked in the left margin with a cross.

    Deterioration of the bottom of p 20 obscures other figures that are partly visible; they appear to be totals and/or amounts carried forward.
