Original Recipe Text
Not chemically analyzed. Used as a functional demarcation on the fore-edge to identify five distinct astronomical texts within a composite volume (p. 130).
Evidence
"the fore-edge of each text has been marked with ink in such a manner that the demarcation allows quick access to the individual texts."
Remarks
The ink serves as a navigational aid rather than just a writing medium. The manuscript itself (Or. 25.723) is a composite volume where individual sections were likely tacketed together during the production phase before final binding (p. 130).
