Most decipherment is given by the text itself The formulaic character of some texts, not only of documents but of numerous non-literary texts, helps to solve previously unsolved reading problems. This is particularly the case with theological literature, where a limited vocabulary is repetitively used. The reading certificates at the end of texts or quires are another case in point.
