*	PK AS 15F and this fragment do not belong together, and both do not belong to the series PK AS 15 etc. either.
*	Left part of a leaf with the string hole but without left margin. At the beginn of line a4/b4 a small piece has been wrongly glued.

n1	(twa)sastar-ñ 'you shine for me?'; s[t]ar-ñ(\) is also possible.
n2	Perhaps śai.
n3	No •i, because too low, the bow belongs to [ś]amñāṃśka 'girl'.
