Commentary

Remarks

This fragment and PK AS 16.6.1 do indeed seem to belong to the same manuscript. Recto and verso are unclear; left side of a leaf with parts of the left margin and the string hole.

Philological commentary

n1y is probably the beginning of a form from yām- 'to do'.
n2○ [w](· – ·)ñ(·) /// or ○ [l](· – ·)ñ(·) ///.
