I have a few queries about this fragment, and would be grateful if I could
be directed to anyone who might be able to shed light on them. I have
checked the entry for p32 (alias P. Rylands 5) in A.S.Hunt's _Catalogue of
the Greek Papyri in the John Rylands University Library_ (in the library
itself!) but it does not go into this sort of detail.

A photograph of the recto in Comfort and Barrett appears to show one or more
letters separate from the main text. Is what looks like an omega, the last
letter of a line on the edge of the adjacent page? What is (are) the
letter(s) above the omega? Also the wear marks look rather odd, as if the
codex had been folded in the wrong place. Does this indicate that the text
was written before the sheets were folded? Finally, what is the likely cause
of the long thin light area which appears to the right of some first
letters, crosses several lines of the text, and is aligned with two holes in
the papyrus?
