116v

[-JKP-]

Maybe this is a coincidence, but compare these chains with the points that are above the "o".

Wladimir, I need to look at the high-res scans again to be sure, but it looks like the chains in your examples might be "pen stutters" (places where the pen jumped across rough parts of parchment when drawing the descenders).

I never had the impression that the dots on 116v were pen stutters (they look fairly deliberate and they aren't attached to any letters, so they don't appear to be descenders), but I will look at them again this evening to see if there are similarities. It never hurts to check again.
