# "V" Transcription by John Grove, edited by J.Stolfi
# "U" transcription by J. Stolfi from a Beinecke negative scan (z3610554.jpg).
#
# Asterisks are "weirdoes".  Note that the repetition
# is not perfect: 
#  "I" in the first period becomes "c" in the rest,
#  "j" in the first period becomes "m" in the rest,
#  "f" in the first two periods becomes "p" in the other two.
#
#  &169 = "L9^" with "9" above the "L", sprouting from its corner
#  &170 = like "h" with top detached
#  &171 = gallows with three loops
#  &172 = upside-down lambda
#  &I   = first half of "ih"
#
# Transcribed clockwise from the faint double line across the band at 10:30.
# The {|} marks the period boundaries.

# First period:
