I admit this is getting off topic, but I'm just editing an article on
the Genesis Apocryphon right now, and wanted to prevent any
misconceptions about its extent.

It should be noted that Morgenstern's proposal about the extent of
1QapGen has been met with scepticism or at least suspension of judgment.
In fact, H. Stegemann has suggested we have the FIRST half of the
scroll, and the END has been lost.
