General Notes Fragment B has been presented in a manner consistent with the codicological order of the lines, beginning with the lines from the Orestes and ending with the lines from the Bacchae. It is assumed several leaves are missing between the end of the Orestes and the beginning of the Bacchae. With regards to terminology, recto and verso mark the horizontal or vertical direction of the fibers. Haslam designates these with arrows in his system, where → is recto and ↓ is verso. "Left side" and "right side" correspond to right and left sides of the codex pages as presented in the photographs, while Haslam has used the terms "front" and "back" which are meant to designate the front and back of a codex leaf as it corresponds to the actual pages of the codex. These all correspond as follows: Fragment B, recto, right side = Orestes 1621-1635 = Haslam's B → front; Fragment B, verso, left side = Orestes 1649-1660 = Haslam's B ↓ back; Fragment B, verso, right side = Bacchae 194-222 = Haslam's ↓ front; Fragment B, recto, left side = Bacchae 223-251 = B → back.
