The article identifies the text and location of two unidentified 4Q14 fragments (frags. 37 and 41) in the 4Q14 manuscript. It adds to 4Q14 two fragments from PAM 43.677 which had not yet been identified as 4Q14 fragments and calls attention to three lost parts of 4Q14 fragments that can be found on the earliest photographs. The new photographs also enable to read a few variants which were not recognized by the editor.
