Commentary

Philological commentary

n1In Peyrot 2007: №450, this line was read /// tno tpāt[\], 1 [po] ///. Without making explicit why, Ogihara 2009: 124 prefers to read /// nto rwā taṃ p· ///. Although one may disagree on some details, I can definitely not accept his reading rwā. My current reading (ci)ttotpāt po(sāt) sees here a Tocharianised form of Skt. cittotpādapoṣatha "Beichtfeier aufgrund des Fassens eines Vorsatzes, Entschlusses" (Bechert and Waldschmidt 1973 II: 253a).
n2we-: probably we(ṣṣäṃ) "he says".
