The reconstruction of the scroll that has been published to date is based on two pages (5Q15), which were found in a relatively complete state and were completed by Milik with the aid of another copy of the same scroll that was found in Cave 4 at Qumran and has not been published, and also fragments of the scroll that have been published only in part.
