- The aspect ratio for this codex creates consistent challenges for the scribe when it comes to the completion of long lines of text. Almost every folio of the psalms has lines of text that must be completed on another line. In these cases, and where the scribe is free to choose (i.e., when there is not another long line above the line in question), the scribe usually places the final material above the end of the line , etc.).
