To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Taeniae are tied around the shaft, a thick dotted taenia is draped around the base of the shaft, and a thick taenia tied in a circle is hung against the base. At the left a woman stands in profile with bowed head, holding out a smegmatotheke in her right hand. She wears a sleeve chiton (thin yellow with brown folds) and a dark red himation (black fold-lines) which reaches nearly to her feet; the original lines of the sketch show white through the dull color; her hair is drawn loosely back and f...astened in a flat knot behind. At the right a youth stands nearly en face, his right leg relieved, holding in his right hand a spear erect (dark red). He wears a long chlamys (thin red, black fold- lines, original sketch showing white), a pe- tasos which hangs on his shoulder, and boots of thick yellow which reach halfway to the knee. The composition of the scene is very hke that on no. 64, — a woman in profile with bowed head holding out some object in her right hand, and at the right a youth nearly en face, — and except for the addition of the woman's himation the lines of the garments are almost exactly the same.
