Notes on line 28:

The large black stain partially obscures some letters in this line. The letters erit at the start of the line are important for connecting this manuscript to the manuscript tradition for the Medea. erit may be the ending of exterit or exerit, both of which are erronious variants that are attested in other manuscripts.

Medea verse 687:

The two possible readings of this manuscript are:

trifidamque linguam exterit et quaerit quibus
or
trifidamque linguam exerit et quaerit quibus

The traditonal modern reading of the text is:

trifidamque linguam exertat et quaerit quibus
