Recipe Details
Ingredients
steatite
Preparation Steps
The steatite pencil was used as a marking tool for marginalia and interlinear glossing. In MS 106 (Khlong Lokkanit), the appearance of the white steatite marks suggests they were added by the owner or a reader rather than the original scribe (p. 222).

Evidence
"the glosses are in scribbled handwriting in a white steatite pencil."
Remarks
In 'The Collection of Old Elephant Treatises' (MS no. 16), the main text is in yellow ink, while the glosses are specifically noted as being in white steatite pencil (p. 224). The use of steatite allowed for annotations that were visually distinct from the primary ink (p. 222).
