Mentions not only an abbot but also a deputy. The letters belong to the oval alphabet; omicron and theta are drop-shaped, rho, psi and omega have curled ends, upsilon has decorative 'epaulets', the diphtong OY is monogrammed, and stigma marks the abbreviations. The spelling has iotacisms and exchange of short and long vowels.
