Commentary

Remarks

Small fragment with a well-preserved script, probably just right from the string hole. Does not belong to the other Supriya fragments. Recto and verso are unclear; at the beginning of line a4 a small piece has been wrongly placed; the piece between lines 4 and 5 also does not seem to belong here.
