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 left part of a leaf including the string hole space in lines 3 and 4. |
Philological commentary
| The verso is in prose, the recto in verse. | |
| n1 | ṣim is the end of a 1.sg. optative, probably klyoṣim 'may I hear', less likely are wleṣim 'may I work' and wināṣim 'may I worship'. |
| n2 | mant is probably the end of a 3.pl. middle preterite I form from a root ending in -m, such as sāmā- 'to collect' or kāmā- 'to bring'. At the end ka is the beginning of a term being fem.pl.; since karkes 'branches' is most likely masculine, it does not fit. |
