Commentary

Remarks

*With Ogihara 2009: 84, recto and verso need to be reversed compared to IDP.

Philological commentary

*: pace Ogihara 2009: 98, I see no evidence for a third line.
n1beginning of line: Ogihara's reading (Ogihara 2009: 97) [s]· cannot be correct; I keep my reading "•" (Peyrot 2007: №738).
n2ṣp: pace Ogihara 2009: 97, who reads ṣpä, the virāma is very clear.
