Description

  The first panel (f70r2 proper) contains a circular diagram framed
  by four rings of text (unit C) between two faint mechanically
  drawn circles. There are two faint radial strokes at 10:00, breaking the two
  outer rings, and one at 09:05, breaking the two inner rings.

  The second (half-)panel contains a paragraph with 13.7 lines of text
  (unit P), part of which spans the fold between the two panels.

  Inside the diagram's frame is an eight-pointed flower (or chubby
  star), with serrated outline. A narrow channel or stem connects
  the tip of each of the star arms to the frame.

  Inside the flower there is a sun, containing a ring of text (unit
  "I"), and inside it a human (woman's?) face with crossed eyes and
  smooth light hair. The sun has eight S-shaped rays directed along
  the star's arms, interleaved with eight long spikes with a bulbous
  base, each touchng the diagram's frame.

Comments

  Speculation is that the two inner circles are one paragraph since
  they share the single line marker at 09:05, and the two outermost
  are another paragraph since they share the double line marker at
  10:00.

  However those lines may be modern guesses.  The aligned gaps 
  at 12:00 on the two outer rings and at 06:00 on the two inner rings
  are equally plausible.
