Though Kauer believed this ms. to be annotated with connective glosses, the only three signs (superscript) resembling construe marks that I could find seem rather to be 1) a perpendicular wavy line, which is a signe de renvoi alerting the reader to a marginal note on ll. 93f.; 2) a second such line over officia (l. 114), for which I found no mate; and 3) a block of four dots calling attention to a gloss over conlacrimabat (109).
