ink eating vellum is a myth, the one spot from the CSP was an erasure, it cannot happen in 250 years

Many of the leaves are so thin that the writing from the other side is sometimes so plainly visible as to become confusing, and in a few cases the ink has eaten through the vellum so as to leave holes. As a rule, however, the vellum struck me as not quite so thin as that of the Codex Alexandrinus, and to have consequently suffered somewhat less from erosion.
The edges of the leaves have been slightly trimmed since the time of the C correctors; this can be seen, for instance, on f. 49 recto. So far as it is now possible to discover, there is no writing on the edges of the closed MS.
