A methodical way to approach a fragment is to first try to recognize any of "a portion of a word". For instance if I wrote "arithmetic" and it was punched out like the fragment is(haphazard), then it would look like "ote arit". The reason why is in the sentence I wrote the word "wrote" is torn in half and so you see "ote",(last 3 letters of the word "wrote") and the first 4 letters of the next word("arithmetic" in example) and so in the upper part of the fragment(p115) start with Alpha,Rho,ect. https://www.rapidtables.com/math/symbols/greek_alphabet.html and the word is https://biblehub.com/greek/705.htm in the right side of the first sentence in the fragment.
In your post you wrote 6 sentences. In the first you wrote 21 words,in the next 25 words,then 24.24.24 and then two in the last,divided by 6 and you averaged 20 words per sentence. So the width of the page you wrote on will accommodate around 20-25 words per sentence. Now you/we can write about 120 words every 6 sentences on the paper/program you/we use but the writer of p115 may have had a 14 inch wide sheet of paper and we only have 12 inch paper. Lets see who can figure out the words/word in the next sentence in p115.

Alexandrian text type is as though EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN WITH THE CAPS LOCK ON(so not lower case) BUT AS IF THEY WERE HOLLERING IN A POST,lol
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrian_text-type ,,,so the uncial's in p115 are "upper case".

What I was referring to was when they found a manuscript in a jar that was in fragments. They were reconstructing it by hand. When they ran into the problem they had already loaded all of the pictures of all of the fragments into the computer. They then ran that jigsaw puzzle program and it worked. They found the last piece they placed was the wrong piece. The program produced the manuscript as a whole manuscript.
Addendum due to the 5 minute rule. Time for edit was too long.
Analyzing my post with the number of words in a sentence. The number of sentences and other features about the post has nothing to do with the shapes of the fragments. That particular piece they had wrong seemed to fit the text and shape. But it was the wrong piece. The computer found that error. People couldn't figure it out.

I don't think God waited 1600 years before producing the bible. From the days of the writings of the new testament those writings were passed around to all the churches. I don't know of a time when the word of God wasn't available to his people accept maybe when the Catholics try to keep it from people.
You say scripture doesn't state that there would only be one valid translation per language and it may not directly. But the concept is found everywhere in the bible - one God, many false gods, one Christ many antichrists, children of God children of Belial, one baptism... the bible from cover to cover is one way and many false ways.

The original word for satyr was a he goat which doesn't tell us anything, maybe it meant something to the original audience but it means nothing to us in English. A satyr isn't even a real animal, it's half goat/half man. The satyr was a god of the woods and that's the context of Isaiah 34:14 and 15.. none of those animals are literal, they are spirits the Lord sent in judgement.
Isa 34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
Isa 34:15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

Let me clarify. The container has to be right. If the container isn't right then the message of the spirit can't be contained in it. In other words the symbols have to be maintained in the container.
If someone taps out "---...---" as an sos message, it wont be received as a distress message. The symbols have to be maintained in order for the correct message to be conveyed.
