As copyists were frequently paid according to the number of pecie which they had written, the beginning of a new pecia in the original examples was not infrequently marked in the copies by a p or pe^a with the corresponding numeral.

1963 R. A. B. Mynors Catal. MSS. Balliol Coll. 43 The care with which it is written and its peciae are marked might suggest that it was intended to be kept..as a standard copy.
