Physical Description:

Extent: 1 folio : torn, losses from the lower end

Note:

In the first poem each verse starts a new line, but this structure is neglected in the second; verse endings denoted by a punctus.
The first folio of the booklet, the recto is the title page, includes only the title: פרשת אחרי מות תקאל\ לפרחיה הכהן בר טרפון נ״ע (the second line is in a different hand than the first).
The verso starts the Matsdar ויהי כל פועל בזרוע רמה. Seven verses, monorhymed רון-, that form the acrostic signature פרחיה.
