Could be. Why not? Scribes tryed to come out in an economical way with
their
papyruses. So why not use a restant space on the back side of the papyrus,
as we
many times may observe in Egypt, to write something quite different. This
doesn´t
prevent one to once more use a header. why not.
But we are as always left without the concrete evidence and can in this
case
speak just about plausability, which is high. But I wouldn´t necesarilly
link the
concluding formula with this practice, since the header of the now
following work
would suffice.
Best regards,
