[Commentary:
On this folio the orders discovered on the previous sheet (Add MS
f. ) are listed systematically. Each new order begins with the second triple from the previous order, with the first two entries interchanged.
At the bottom of the page, Harriot notes the starting differences for each order.
He has also written the enigmatic
Hic sunt omnes primi sed hic omnes non sunt
which was greatly to confuse his friend Nathaniel Torporley when he came across it some years later.
For discussion of this and the surrounding sheets (Tanner . ]
