Commentary

Philological commentary

	An unidentifiable piece with s· written on it slightly obscures āñu in line a1.

Remarks

	According to Broomhead 1962: 245 "[w]ritten in medium ductus, and very clearly preserved, it is the left edge of a large six line manuscript with the number '51' on the verso". He also identifies this fragment as folios 45-46 (op.cit.).
