Paelographical Question, o ye wise...

What does 'All plummet' mean? I have a description of Marginal Notes in B, in which Hands IV and V are described as 'early thirteenth century/ late thirteenth century.1 All plummet.' This is followed immediately by a list of folios in which they appear.

1. early/ late respectively.

It's an early ancestor of pencil (http://web.ceu.hu/medstud/manual/MMM/glossary.html#plummet).
