Top right f1r

Hello all,
Has anyone ever made anything of these little faded things on f1r? I've seen a lot of discussion about the red things, but not about these.
Looks like an arabic alif, the word pig and half a pitchfork, so it must be important.

I think the 'arabic alif' is the number one, as in page number. It is in the same place as the number 2 on the page behind it.
As to the other two circled items, i can see the similarities to your names for them, 'pig' also looks like 'big' to me now that you point it out. But i have trouble believing that was put there on purpose. The pitchfork thing also reminds me of a rodent paw print. -

I thought rather about pic or bic, the tail of the supposed g seems to be just a part of the stain edges.

Some time ago, I interested to find any hidden pictures and notes in the VMs and I found. Now I rejected some of them, doubt in some, but still think that some notes really are. There is always a risk of pareidolia or presence of digital noice.
As for me, I supposed that there are the abbreviated word pictus (pic., picture) and the bird-glyph next to it. Although I'm not sure, of course. The combination "AR" in the very corner seems to me more credible.

There was a discussion on that some years ago, I remember someone suggested that to be a drawing of a donkey, or something like that -

The only way any of this is ever going to be legible is if the entire page were to be photographed using multi-spectral imagery (not just the Tinapius signature at the bottom, and not just ultra-violet). Unfortunately that isn't going to be possible any time soon. Due to COVID, the Beinecke remains closed to visitors beyond the Yale community, and the imaging lab has a skeleton staff and a huge backlog.
