SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
having rolled up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Having rolled up' better matches the physical act of rolling up a scroll, which is the context here, in line with the silex_definition. 'Folded up' can imply folding in ways that do not fit a scroll. |
