Remarks
| According to Broomhead 1962: 220 "[w]ritten in small to medium ductus and quite clearly preserved, from the middle of a manuscript with at least five lines originally". |
Philological commentary
| n1 | puś: could it be for pudñäkte(ṃ)ś? |
|---|---|
| n2 | saim-wäste: alternatively, one could read steṃ, but the ṃ seems to be wiped out. |
