Excerpt from A Classical Technology: Edited From Codex Lucensis, 490

Here we first meet the symbol for uncia, of such frequent occurrence in this text; we must not fail to mention the existence of two or three blurrs ren dering the decipherment of the text somwhat uncer tain. The remainder of the MS is in Uncials with an admixture of cursives; these latter are often trace able to a corrector, perhaps all are due to him. It seems that sometimes the scribe, unable to decipher his Vorlage, left a vacant space later filled in by the corrector, a much more expert palaegrapher: he did the other work usually devolving on a corrector. The abbreviations are the aforementioned symbol for uncia, a d with cross stroke for dragma, bar with nasal or general value, the usual p series, q; for que etc.
