The Oxyrhynchus papyrus of Ciceroâs speeches is non-calligraphic and therefore not subject to the rule governing calligraphic products. The same is true of marginal notes to calligraphic texts. See W.M. Lindsay, _Notae Latinae_, Cambridge 1915, pp. 1-2.] 1. Suspensions which might occur in any ancient manuscript or inscription, _e.g._: B· = BUS Q· = QUE[15] ·CÌ Â· = GAIUS[16] P· C· = PATRES CONSCRIPTI [Footnote 15: Found only at the end of words in our fragment.
