A similar question that can be asked is, whether any scribe was preferentially writing the circular texts.

There are 81 circular texts in the MS, and the majority are on foldout bifolios. The exceptions are:

- 4 on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. - 6 on f73 (r+v) - but in this case we don't know if the lost folio 74 would have been a foldout.

Here we find that 71 of 81 circles were done by scribe 4.
Four were done by scribe 1 (namely those of f57v)
Six were done by scribe 2 (namely those on the obverse of the Rosettes diagram).

Interestingly, the exceptions are all related to bifolios that were shared by different scribes.
