The problem with using short segments of text is the matter of selection. What are the criteria for the investigator's choice?
An alternative option is to follow the VMs author's 'recommendation'. How can the author specify certain parts of the text? Clearly this could be done by various markers and indicators such as the small patterned insertions in the circular bands of text. Yet even these are fairly numerous, so which one?
Consider VMs White Aries. This is where historical references, the presence of pairing, and the use of patterned markers all combine together. The outer text band is highly unusual, if not unique, in its use of word repetition. This factor may help to provide a check on the validity of potential interpretations.
