Commentary
Remarks
| 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). | |
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Left part of a leaf including part of the string hole space covering lines 3 and 4. The leaf number 33 is repeated inside the string hole space on the verso side. Unlike in other cases in this mansucript, the number written inside the string hole does not deviate from the one written on the margin. This is true for the continuous series A 32 until A 36. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | The tune has the meter 4 x 25 (5/5/8/7). |
