The setting

Day five: the first living, moving creatures — water-creeping things and flying birds. Codex A is damaged here; Swete's brackets mark his own conjectural restoration of the endings of πετόμενα (“flying”) and of the phrase “the firmament of heaven”, preserved verbatim in this reader (see EDITION-MANIFEST.md).
