text above top pond

The {.} marks Grove's "detachable initials".
The vertical letters at the NE corner have been transcribed separately (unit "K").
The alignment is indicated by line numbering and {-*} comments on lines 1-5.

The vertical sequence has an <r> at this point, not aligned with the text line.

John Grove thinks that the final "s" below is part of the vertical "key sequence" (unit f75v.K)

The picture resembles a lower pond sunk into the ground,
fed by a tube from the tub further up the page.
The pond is packed with 19 naked nymphs, ankle-deep in the water.

There is a normal-looking paragraph on the right side of the pond.
On the left side there are about 6 words at the top, apparently
not aligned with the text, and presumed to be labels (below).
There are also 6 short lines of text; these were assumed to be
part of the running text on the right side
(<f75v.P3.27> thru <f75v.P3.32>).

The following paragraph lies to the right of the "lower pond" with 19 women.
There is extra text above, to the left of, and below the pond,
shown here as comments, which may or may not be part of this
paragraph. This material is transcribed
as separate unit, f75v.L2, f75v.L3, and f75v.P4.
