Commentary

Remarks

*Unlike the dominant poṭhī style, the verso is not upside down compared to the recto; the leaf had to be turned over not from bottom to top, but from right to left.

Philological commentary

n1possibly toṃ piś, e.g. toṃ piś cmela
n2ā would have to be from e.g. ; following ·ai or ·eṃ
