With reference to f. 116v, it can't be translated because there's still a lot of uncertainty about how to transcribe it. On the very top line, the third letter LOOKS like it MIGHT be an [x], but it's smudged, so it's hard to say for sure. Same for the last letter of the second word. Many of the letterforms are ambiguous, or faded, or smudged. I know a lot of people on this site have strong opinions about the transcription of these lines (there are several threads about it), but it's not entirely clear. It's not the linguists fault that there's not good translation. The text just isn't legible enough.
