    This section of the report covers page f70v1, "Aries I", the first of the two Zodiac diagrams ostensibly associated with the "Aries" sign and the month of April.  It was formerly nicknamed the "Aries Dark", because of the goat's appearance on older B&W scans.  The diagram is framed by six concentric circles, here named C1 to C6 from outside in.  
    
    The tracing and retracing history of this page seems quite complex.  This page shows at least four and maybe six passes or layers of ink writing and drawing, not counting the month name at the center.  For the sake of discussion we are assuming six layers, Rt0 (original) to Rt5 (the "Boobs Retracer"), plus the month name, RtX.  
    
    In theory, the layers can be distinguished by the width of the traces and by the hue of the ink, both on the BL 2014 scans and/or on false-color images, e. g. composites of the Lazarus 2016 multi-spectral images.  As usual, the assignment of each detail to one of these passes is uncertain because the thickness of the ink in the trace can affect its apparent hue.  In fact, layers Rt3 and Rt4 may be the same, and possibly they are also the same as Rt2. Beware that traces change color when they are covered by paint, including the light yellow one used on the hair of some nymhs and in the star cores and the red applied to the cheeks and lips of the nymphs.   The order of application of layers Rt4 and Rt5 is also uncertain. 
        
    On this page, some parts of the circles were retraced freehand by Rt2.  The outlines of the nymphs included here seem to be mostly Rt2 with some later touches.  All five layers Rt0-Rt4 occur on the text rings and labels. 
    
    More specifically, on this page, as on many other pages, the original traces (Rt0) are few and very faint.  They include the thinnest and smoothest parts of the circles, that were drawn with a compass; some "ghost" traces on the nymph outlines; and some bits on the text and labels. The general restoration pass (Rt1) used wider traces and a more visible ink, and presumably retraced most of the text and an unknown fraction of the figure outlines.  Passes Rt2 and Rt3, with darker ink, retraced again large parts of the text.  A single word in the inner text right seems to be in an even darker ink (Rt4).  And finally there are the interventions of the so-called Boobs Retracer (Rt5), with the darkes ink overall.  Besides the characteristic focus on certain details of the nymphs' anatomy, Rt5 also added some details to the dresses, such as collars and cuffs, and to the tubs.
