#   The page contains four paragraphs (with 4.6, 2.4, 9.5, 5.5 lines,
#   respectively), each followed by a short right-justified title.
#
#   Paragraphs 2 and 3 begin with big "weirdo" doodles, very unlike
#   normal Voynichese letters. The first (EVA &252) looks like a
#   capital K lying on it side, with the vertical bar at the bottom.
#   The second (EVA &253) looks like the first, with an extra
#   squiggly line rising from between the two "horns". The two symbols
#   are drawn or painted with flaring strokes ending in swallowtail
#   serifs.
#
#   There is an inch-wide stain along the right margin, running from
#   the top to the bottom.  About the upper right corner, Rene
#   reports [4 Apr 1999]: "The '2' with underscore near the top right
#   is written in the same ink as the two doodles ... at the start of
#   para's 2 and 3. Next to that is what looks like a '9' but which
#   really is the letter 'a' with a 'b' beneath it. These are not part
#   of the erased alphabet lists below it. They are in lighter red.
#   ... It's not the same red as the '2' left of the 'a' [or] the two
#   doodles".
#
#   Within the right marging area there seem to be three columns of
#   letters ("key like sequences") which are barely visible in the
#   reproductions. 
#
#   Jim Reeds writes [15 Jul 1994]: "The erased key ... seems to have
#   3 vertical columns of letters. The leftmost is the ordinary
#   alphabet, lower case italic hand, a through z. I could not check
#   for the presence of every letter (I'm not sure about j, for
#   instance) but a, b, c, ... o, p, q, r, s, ... y, z are pretty
#   clear. Next to those are very spotty frags of Voynich letters. I
#   could make out <8> next to a, <R> next to c, <6> next to y, and
#   one of the gallows letters somewhere near the q, r, s range. [...]
#   The 3d column seems to be 1 off from the first: italic miniscules,
#   r next to s, and so on. More is visible in UV shots than Petersen
#   shows."
#
#   Rene adds [04 Apr 1994]: "Next to 'a' is <d>. Next to 'c' is
#   <r>. <y> is below 'h'. Of the roman alphabet, one can see a-f,
#   h, o-r, u-v and z (more like zeta). Of the shifted alphabet two
#   columns to the right I could only see 'p' and 'q' (aligned with
#   'o' and 'p' respectively)."
#
#   There seems to be faint unreadable text at the top of the page,
#   apparently in cursive handwriting.
#
#   There are some faint scribbles in the bottom margin. More details
#   are visible in the photographic copies made by Voynich. Rene
#   reports [4 Apr 1999]: "Below the Tepenec signature are a 'W' (left
#   margin) and what looks like two 7's below 'en' (of 'Tepenece').
#   These do not show up on the [UV-]illuminated images."
