ArrangementThe numbers followed by a bracket at the beginning of most of the entries below are the numbers found written on the constituent membranes or pages possibly at or after the assembling of these two rolls. Other numbers may also be found on the membranes or pages and often appear to be contemporary with the date of the registration concerned. These have been noted within round brackets at the end of the entries on which they appear. These numbers and some endorsements may indicate an earlier arrangement of the documents.
