#[Number in table but not used, presumably accidentally]

[There follow on p28 the beginning of a ‘Revised Draft’ of the table in the last previous ts journal entry, as far as line (12); the beginnings of a table with years in Column A from 512 to 509 then (after a gap) from 1983 to 1991, the whole page being struck through; then on p29, headed ‘Start again!’ another list of grouped nation-states similar to the one above, but without a list of numbers, the groups themselves being grouped, and the whole list divided into sections to suggest super-groups, the whole list being so much annotated with notes, arrows, question marks &c as to make its attempted reproduction here not worthwhile]
