I am not so sure that it isn't simply an Eva-s, which occurs stand-alone elsewhere in the MS.
The bottom part of the s is barely visible but it seems to be there...
That would make the case different, of course. This is one of those cases when I wish I saw it in the natural light through the magnifying glass. :-)
However, if s is a number indeed, then we return to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. where s and &163; are both there in the "index" column - so either they both are numbers there (in f49v), or they are both letters there. In the former case we are faced again with the number represented by a very rare symbol, in the latter case we have a column containing a very rare letter among very common letters, so the question arises: what's going on here? Apparently this is not an index in that case, so what's it otherwise?
