Dorabella transcription in the 24-glyph numbering (orientation A-H plus arc count)

Line lengths 29, 31, 27; 20 distinct glyphs. Hauer and Hartmeier agree at 85 of 87 positions (they differ at 34, read H1 or N1, and 78, read C1 or SE1). The compass meaning of the letters A-H was inferred by matching the two transcriptions; Hauer et al. do not state it in the text.
