Maybe not, but if it's there we need to face it.

Since the date is not written in plain numbers
but depends on an interpretation of the VMs text,
we cannot be certain that this is correct.
Remember, Brumbaugh read 'Bacon' in
the michiton text on f116v, and Strong read 'Askham'
as part of his translation. They were both able to
set up a more or less complete hypothesis 
supporting these identifications.

Best wishes, Rene
