Philological commentary
| The size of the lacuna between the left hand fragment IOL Toch 772 and the right hand fragment IOL Toch 122 may be estimated between 7 and 14 akṣaras on the basis of the following speculative restorations (for several correspondences there are more possibilities, which are not noted here): | |
| The difference between 7 akṣ. for lines a3/b3 and 10-14 akṣ. for lines a1-2/b4-5 suggests that a3/b3 contained the string hole space. On the basis of IOL Toch 122 b2, which preserves 7 full akṣaras on 6,4 cms, the size of a lacuna of 11-12 akṣaras may have been approximately 10 cms. | |

| n2 | (pra)jñayā (paśyate yadā aiśamñesa lkāṣṣäṃ krui atha) nirvidyate = 14 akṣ. |

Remarks
| This fragment (IOL Toch 122, right) is from the same leaf as IOL Toch 772, left: IOL Toch 772 a1-3 and IOL Toch 772 b3-5 precede IOL Toch 122 a1-3 and IOL Toch 122 b3-5 by approximately 7 to 14 akṣ. or 10 cms (see the philological commentary for details). Traces of lines a5 and b1, which contained Uv.12.10c-11d, can be discerned. If the string hole space covered only a3/b3, the manuscript must originally have had 5 lines. |
