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. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | The restoration of Siegling's personal copy (ñā)tsentu makes good sense from a semantic point of view. The akṣara remnants, however, render this reading improbable. |
