Comment

Rubric missing at the top of the page. Faint correction at bottom right.The verb 'prodest' is missing before the word 'cum' on the last line. There is a slight indication of an editorial insertion in the right margin, but it does not look like 'prodest'. The sentence should read 'The cry of the discerning brother is helpful when he sees negligence.' (Clark, 1992, 227) Initial type 2.
