On line 21, a blue capitulum-like mark, decorated with red, can be found indicating that the following word belongs to the line above it. Here, this simply indicates a run-over in the text.
The abbreviated form "cap." appears at the end of some rubrics to indicate the beginning of a new chapter in the text.
The full word "capitula" appears in the first rubric, at the top of the first column, where it simply expresses the beginning of the chapters of the text.
