MS # 682
Folio #266a (recto)
Including the beginning of the PA: Jn 7:53a
Folio #266b (verso)
Including Jn 7:53b-8:6. Although Titles (in red) were added later, and some text interspersed between lines, it is clear that the manuscript originally had the continuous text of John including the PA from the start, as its much older exemplar (master-copy) must have had. Typically a master-copy would be 200 or more years older than the newest copies, and this places our text here back to the 8th or 9th century. Other even older manuscripts have the passage too.
Folio #267a (recto)
Including Jn 8:6 - 14: Although the top two lines of the page have been damaged by water/mildew, the text is easy to restore, and is undoubtably in the original hand.
Folio #267b (verso)
Including Jn 8:14 fwd: Note that the verso of parchment pages is typically a different color and texture than the recto (one side being the inward facing animal skin, the other being the "hair-side"). Typical reading/lection marks have been added in red, but were color-enhanced improvements on an original layout that allowed for out-dented paragraphs with an oversize letter in left-margin, as below.
