It seems that this area was left blank because there was something wrong with the surface of the vellum, that caused the text to blur, like writing on wet paper. Check the end of line 5, and of several lines below that.
Look closely: there is a "water" or "grease" stain in that area and several creases of the vellum that converge towards it. Also, the dent midway along the edge of that panel, with a brown halo, was almost certainly a hole in the hide. Above that hole, the cut that defines the edge of that panel deviates several mm from the straight line -- as if to avoid some defect of the vellum, to the right of it.
All the best, --stolfi
