Handmade paperboard folder with the handwritten note "Remarks on the repeated identical syllables in our language". The handwriting is not the poet's (it is most likely Rica Singopoulo's). The folder contains handwritten notes by Cavafy on nine sheets, four double sheet notepapers and two printed broadsheets. Quotes from poems by Palamas, Nirvanas, Solomos, Gryparis etc, as well as from folk songs and prose texts. Bibliographical references. The two broadsheets, bearing the same fragment of a poem by Cavafy, were printed in 1920. Also, reference to a 1925 print.

The verso of all sheets is blank, except for sheet "9". Footnotes. Interpolated words and phrases in English, French and Italian. The signature "C.P.C.", in pencil, at the end of the text. The text is enclosed in a ruled double sheet notepaper that has been torn into two sheets.
