English: (Translation:) of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; (25) Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Gad, were forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty. (26) Of the children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
English: Comment: It is interesting to note the scribal abbreviations which are used thoroughly, such as the symbol for (-rum), (see the end of the first word on the second line) and the use of bars over vowels to indicate a missing n, "viginti annus" (second line again), and of course the symbol for "et" (although it is written in full near the end of the text). Other abbrevations include the modified 'p' for 'per' and the use of flatted a above (looking like two dots above) characters to indicate missing letters (qᷓdra with flattened a above, instead of quadra).
