Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

Commentary

Remarks

In one frame with A 123. This fragment was not edited in Sieg and Siegling 1921a, but pāṇḍu wäl is cited in fn. 4, p. 68. According to Sieg and Siegling 1921a: 68, the fragment is from the same leaf as A 123.

Philological commentary

n1 (e)preraṃ śaś(m)ā –: cf A 214 a2 epreraṃ śäm.
