Abstract
This contribution presents an edition, with textual notes and translation, of a fragment of a tract which is concerned with the formation of compound words and alliteration. The contents of the text are examined in detail and the relationship in which it stands to the other grammatical and metrical tracts is addressed. A treatment of selected technical terminology and alliteration with the letter p is also provided. The fragment has, to the present writer’s knowledge, hitherto received no scholarly attention and is published here for the first time.
