Commentary

Remarks

According to Broomhead 1962: 249 "[w]ritten in medium ductus, it is quite clearly preserved, except for a large gap in the middle of line five. It is from the middle of a large nine line manuscript."

Linguistic commentary

n1eṅweṃ for eṅkweṃ.

Philological commentary

n2(vi)pul-ṣlempa: cf. A 30 a1 vipul ṣuläṣ lyutār tpär.
