| Label | Description | Reference URL |
|---|---|---|
| fragmentary | Only 1 or 2 pages are all that remain of the witness, which is expected to be much longer. | |
| complete | All of the literary content (not including dedication, etc.) is extant and legible. | |
| defective | Some pages containing literary content are missing from the extant witness, but the majority or a significant portion survives. | |
| lost | In the case of a hypothetical witness, whose existence is posited, no part of the witness survives. |
