The poetry on pp. 359-392, 396-419, 422-423, 432-448 is written in bardic script (see Gwenogvryn's observations on this in J. Gwenogvryn Evans, Report on Manuscripts in the Welsh Language, vol. I (London, 1898-1905), 418). P. 257 is rubbed and the readings uncertain in part. The two leaves following p. 284b have been cut out. At least one folio is torn off at p. 448 and the remainder of the poem is inverted.
