Q2f14v Secret Writings

[RobGea]

An argument for Dots and not characters.
Using the TIFF image i count the line width of the extended 'P' to be around 7pixels.
The 12 marks in the centre of the P-loop are around 7-12 pixels both in height and width.
This is indicatve that these 12 marks were written with the same implement that the P-loop was written with. 

However we can see that the 8th mark has a visual similarity to a Arabic numeral '6' or latin-script 'G'

The 8th mark is approximately 10pixels high and 7pixels wide and a possible line width of 3pixels.
We could conclude the 8th mark was either created with a 7pixels pen nib and produced an unusual blob of ink
or a pen with a thinner nib of approx 3 pixels was used to create the mark.

As none of the other 11 marks are seemingly legible we are left with 2 scenarios:

7pixels nib : 1 out of 12 marks is an outlier resembling a legible character
                    11/12 marks are correct attempts at making a dot; '.' character

3pixels nib : 1 out of 12 marks is a correct attempt at writing a legible character.
                    11/12 marks are failed illegible attempts at writing legible characters.

Summary:
11/12 marks are correct attempts at making a dot; '.' character.
Vs.
11/12 marks are failed illegible attempts at writing legible characters.

Therefore, the 12marks inside the P-loop are more likely to be Dots than legible characters.

This is by no means evidence of any kind and medieval books could be written with tiny handwriting, as seen in the following link.
