  b. 93-98

The notation of the accidentals in this fragment of A is inaccurate – there is not any flat lowering e2(1) to e2(1) in bars 94, 96 and 98. It is probably an echo of the draft notation of As, which is not only devoid of flats, but it includes naturals before e1 in bars 93 and 97. The signs were added in FE (→GE,EE).
