Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
Reviewed. Removed 'r' from argyia on 2nd line, b/c I didn't see it written, even tho he prob meant it? - GigglePop! Changed "Argyia" and "agyia" to "Orgyia" and "ogyia". Also changed the annotation of the black numbers that presumably indicate instars, to make it clearer that these are not dates. -@mnathan
