Immediately after our overview of the G text this is the right time to look at it from the side, which is possible because the K tablet has a text which in a way corresponds to the front side of the G text. The K tablet is smaller than the G tablet and it has only 5 glyph lines on each side. Notably side b starts not at the left but at the right bottom corner. This is probably a consequence of the odd number of glyph lines on side a, because the 'return voyage' in the 3rd pair of lines has to be the first line on side b. Instead of the 8 pairs of lines on the G tablet there are only 5 pairs on the K tablet.
