Formatting remarks
Line 11 is squeezed rather awkwardly into the free space between the two surrounding lines, and was probably added later on. While the obverse leaves plenty of space between the lines, as well as free space at the end of a sentence, the reverse is written in a more condensed form, and two entries (written on the left edge) follow after the date.
