PENNSYLVANIA TABLET
The 240 lines of the six columns of the text are enumerated in succession, with an indication on the margin where a new column begins. This method, followed also in the case of the Yale tablet, seems preferable to Langdon’s breaking up of the text into Obverse and Reverse, with a separate enumeration for each of the six columns. In order, however, to facilitate a comparison with Langdon’s edition, a table is added:
Obverse | Col. | I, | 1 = | Line | 1 | of | our | text. |
" | I, | 5 = | " | 5 | " | " | " | |
" | I, | 10 = | " | 10 | " | " | " | |
" | I, | 15 = | " | 15 | " | " | " | |
" | I, | 20 = | " | 20 | " | " | " | |
" | I, | 25 = | " | 25 | " | " | " | |
" | I, | 30 = | " | 30 | " | " | " | |
" | I, | 35 = | " | 35 | " | " | " | |
