I am not completely sure whether the writing on a scroll is considered magical for this purpose (I'd say yes, but it's debatable). Anyway that only changes how you determine if erase is successful, but in any case the scroll seems to be erasable.One problem of this scenario is that according to the SRD it's not clear if you can cast the Runes on top of another writing. Can you cast Runes on an already written page? I don't know...Assuming you could do that, I think that probably you cannot just use Erase to target only the Runes and avoid erasing the spell in the scroll. It's complicated because you should roll 2 caster level checks, one for the Runes and one for the spell, but you actually would like to succeed in the first and fail in the second. Can you voluntarily fail the second?Now that I notice, the Erase spell is badly written... apparently you have to target a scroll or 2 pages, but all the spells it can erase (except Sepia Snake Sigil) can be written on any object, not just scrolls and books.</blockquote>
