This isolated sheet is attached to a text of which the beginning and the end are missing. On the martyrdom of Saint PERPETUE: "Perpetua sang; Revocat, Saturninus, Satur threatened the people who asked that they be whipped [...Perpetua and Felicity were stripped and put in nets to be exposed to a furious cow, the people were horrified seeing the one so delicate and the other who had just given birth, her udders still disgusting; [...] Perpetua fell into the hands of a clumsy gladiator who pricked her between the bones and made her scream"... Flaubert of other works of TERTULLIAN: Of the spectacles, Treaty of the idolatry and Of the ornament of the women: "I do not know if hands accustomed to bracelets will be able to suffer from handcuffs, if a leg decorated with bands will be able to adapt to the shackles"...
