Since the evidence suggests, however, that the rubricated sections were also written by the main scribe (see Introduction <xref>I.7</xref>), this does not imply a change of hand. Probably the scribe chose to use these particular letter forms in order to make certain that the lengthy section of overwriting was clear.
