Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 |
The editors suggest that 'kete' could refer to the king mentioned in the date who is now lost. |
| n2 |
yaitkorone is probably a very strange form of yaitkor. |
| n3 |
According to the editors, this could also be read as 'ñe [tr](o)k[ol]. They also mention the possibility of keṣ being keś, citing Kz-131-ZS-Z-05, but they concede that this kind of mistake is exceedingly rare in Tocharian. |
| n4 |
The editors claim that this is a 'late' form of piśāka. |
