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). | |
| The recto side is blank with just one akṣara preserved: this akṣara can be read ‹po›, less likely ‹ṣo›; in the former case it may possibly belong to postak 'book'; if it is postak, we expect the title of the book (though there is nothing left to be seen before). On the verso side lines 4 to 6 are missing. Presumably, the text in b1 starts with the name of a tune. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | One may restore puttiśpa(räṃ) or a form of the derived adjective puttiśpa(rṣi). |
