Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). | |
| Due to the identification, verso and recto side can now be determined. It is the opposite of what is printed in Sieg and Siegling 1921: 105. |
Parallel texts
| A 212 (completing), YQ II.4; MaitrHami 2, 4-5 |
Philological commentary
| This fragment, complemented by A 212, contains part of the second act of the Maitreyasamitināṭaka; it corresponds to YQ II.3 b8 - YQ II.4 b6. An Uy. parallel is MaitrHami II, 4a19-5a15. See also Pinault 1999: 195-6. |
