Notes on grouping:
Runte (2014), Coco (2016), and both JONAS and Arlima catalogues present Arsenal 3516 as part of the Version A group. However, as Foehr-Janssens (1994) notes, scholarship is in agreement that this text presents 'une version mixte' of A and L. As noted elsewhere, this is shown in the presence of Noverca and Filia in the text.
