There is no photo of Frame 3 (2024), instead I used Budge’s 1899 facsimile, as well as for frame 7 because of the poor quality of the photo. What is noticeable is that on the Budge facsimiles, the colour yellow is intensely present. It does not seem to be present on the original papyri. Only on frame 6, the yellow is still present there
