Opens mid-verse 44 (continued from p. 84) and runs to the end of the chapter at v. 48. The
piece stops there: p. 86 (n175) begins Chrest. III, III. VITAE PROPHETARUM.
Lines 89-100 — twelve lines, the short page; marginal numerals 90, 95, 100. The chapter's
continuous line-numbering therefore closes at exactly 100.

v.44 continues through line 91 · v.45 line 91 (last three words) · v.46 line 94 · v.47 line 96 (last word) · v.48 line 99. Marginal line numerals at 90, 95, 100.
⚑ Line 93 (ܛܒ̈ܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܝ̈ܫܐ ܆ ܘܡܚܬ ܡܛܪܗ ܥܠ ܟܐܢ̈ܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ) is measurably longer than the
other lines on the page. Either the compositor set it tighter, or one of its eight clusters
belongs to line 94. Read once at 3x; not re-verified. The WORDS are not in doubt — only which
side of the line break the last one or two fall on, which matters to lines_per_page fidelity
and to nothing else.

⭐ FULL AGREEMENT on this page — the cleanest result in the run, and it lands on the verses that matter most for a diff:
· v. 45 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ... ܥܠ ܛܒ̈ܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܝ̈ܫܐ ... ܥܠ ܟܐܢ̈ܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ · v. 46 ... ܡܢܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܂ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܦ ܡܟܣ̈ܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ · v. 47 ... ܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܐܚܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܂ ܡܢܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢ̱ܬܘܢ ܂ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܦ ܡܟܣ̈ܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ · v. 48 ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܢ̱ܬܘܢ ܓܡܝܪ̈ܐ ܂ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܓܡܝܪ ܗܘ
word for word, in the same order, with the same seyame — including both occurrences of the
ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܦ ܡܟܣ̈ܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ refrain, which is where a mis-keyed repetition would show.
⚑ The one thing this agreement does NOT establish: pointing. BFBS prints these verses fully vocalized and Nestle prints them bare, so the two texts agree on every consonant and on no vowel. Vocalisation outranks the sense for QA — and on this piece there is no vocalisation to check against, in either direction. That is a property of Chrest. II, not a defect of the run, and it is the reason Chrest. I (vocalized Serto, against Barnes 1914) is the stronger half of R3(a) for a pointing check.
