Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

Commentary

Remarks

The fragments of the PK AS 19 series (19.1-19.22) all belong to the same manuscript. This little fragment is the left side of a leaf including the string hole in line 3. Recto and verso cannot be identified. Some of the lines show remnants of akṣaras from another leaf.

Philological commentary

n1 There seems to be form of the verb mäsk- 'to exchange' attested in this line, but it can not be identified with absolute certainty.
