Fols. 98v-99: Two corrections appear in the inner margins on both pages , each enclosed in its own miniature ornamental frame:  Fol. 98v – The missing text is inserted inside a small circular frame executed in brown ink. Fol. 99 – The corrective addition is written within a tiny shield-shaped panel, similarly delineated in ink. In both cases, the inserted script is noticeably smaller than the script of the  main text, and the correspondence to the omitted passage in the main text is indicated by the familiar tri-dot floral reference sign (two dots below, one above), consistent with other correction systems in the manuscript.                                                                                                                                                                     Fol. 98v: At the end of the first text line, the word “Moshe” (משה)—corresponding to the name of the scribe—is embellished with a small pen-flourished vegetal motif extending upward into the margin and terminating in a fleur-de-lys-like finial.
