Commentary
Philological commentary
| On the recto, a half-loose piece at the lower left corner, not properly attached, makes the reading of the beginning of line a3 uncertain. On the verso, the difficult match of a half-loose fragment at the left disturbs the reading of the first akṣara of line b3. | |
