Commentary

Remarks

This is the smaller one of the fragments classified under PK AS 19.14 on the left. It is the left part of a leaf including the string hole which interrupts line 3. There are only four lines visible. For most lines and especially a1 and a2 the reading is made impossible by the superposition of akṣaras from another leaf. The preliminary verso side has no visible text on it. It is quite possible that only one layer of the original leaf has been preserved.
