| The left part of a leaf including the whole string hole covering lines 3 and 4. The leaf number 20 is also written inside the string hole by another hand. Note that very often in this manuscripts a number written inside the verso-side string hole deviates from the leaf number on the margin. |

| This text is a version of the story about the sea monster Timitimiṅgila and the 500 merchants; for the name cf. Edgerton 1953: 253a. | |
| We probably can identify the tune devadatte*, which has 20|22|10|15 (a: 5/5/5/5, b: 8/7/7, c: 5/5, d: 8/7). | |
| n1 | ywatsī has been corrected from ywitsī. |
| n2 | There are 23 syllables lost in the lacuna, since every line should have ca. 32 akṣaras. |
| n3 | Line b1 begins with the 11th syllable of pāda 1b. |
| n4 | At the end one may read tāk 'it was' if one admits that here the normal sign ‹ka› is used and not the usual fremdzeichen ‹ka› in virama position. |
| n5 | The line begins with the 7th syllable of pāda 2b. |
