Shlama Kathi Jerzy,
The web site <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dukhrana.com/khabouris/files/Khabouris%20Matthew.pdf">http://dukhrana.com/khabouris/files/Kha ... atthew.pdf</a><!-- m --> explains the infinity symbols as paragraph-verse breaks. Actually they appear to parallel section breaks and there are about 55 of them in the entire ms.. The vertical writing in the margin of page 11 is a section number, the letter "Dalet" ="4", reading downward facing toward the left side of the page. Each section averages about 10 pages in length and is numbered using the Aramaic letter-numbering system. Some pages don't show the numbers, as the margins are cut off in the photo.
Burkta,
Dave
