<p style='text-align: justify;'>Recto-verso, right: a calculation of moladot for all months in years 4936-4940 of the Era of Creation (= 1175-1176 to 1179-1180 CE). Moladot for the years 4937-4940 are incorrect, and the scribe made an unsuccessful attempt to correct his calculations as he went along.

The calculation is correct up to 4948 of the Era of Creation (= 1187-1188 CE). Coptic numerals 1-19 are inserted between the hours and parts of each molad, for numbering the years of the 19-year cycle.</p>
