If nick P is correct about many of the nymphs being 'updated' by a later scribe, was this person just trying to make the nymphs look more modern and less antiqued?
The nymphs being updated does not mean they were updated by another person. I don't remember if Nick put forward any argumentation in favor of that, or if that was the point he was really putting forward. I consider it like the same person updating his own imagery at a later time. (Like the crowns related to the succession of kings, as I proposed).

Yes, and we discussed that somewhere in the forum. The significance of this dating is that it sets the upper margin of the date when the VMS was already possessed by someone who could not understand it.
Regarding other objects for dating, there are also arabic digits from 1 to 5 written by the original scribe, I forgot in which folio.
