There is one character in line 26 that intrudes between two words of line 25 above. It is unclear if this is the result of specific planning. This character usually only appears in top lines of paragraphs.

The reason for the unusual right margin is not known, but suggestions have been that the text is a poem, that the quality of the parchment did not allow writing, or that space was left for another drawing.
