| a1 | Without debt, the tax... in karpoññasn4 |
|---|---|
| a2 | On the order of the great Kuchean king... |
| a3 | In the court (?)n5 /on the question, he had a conversation with you. |
| a4 | And quickly tell himn6 to bring it! ... down... |
| b1 | ... Therein, from the little monastery, two... |
| b2 | ... he tore it out, for five (coins?) each... |
| b3 | ...their food: klese, three pecks. |
| b4 | ... I bought: three koraiñ, twenty ... |
| n1 | Ching's reading saṅkrām śka mai is untenable, since there is clearly an e-diacricic above the 'mśka'. Also, the 'mai' looks more like a 'meṃ'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The second 'w' is smaller than the first, because the scribe tried to fit it in the same line even though there wasn't much space left. |
| n3 | There is a word *ggūra- 'mule' in Khotanese (Dragoni 2022: 115, non vidi), which is probably related to this word. |
| n4 | Tiny traces of the 'ñña' are still visible. karpoñña also occurs in PK DA M 507.37, 36 a88 and in non-secular THT 1267 (in the latter case, it seems to be used in a kind of figura etymologica with kārp-: b2 ṅke ost karpoñña ñ(äś) k(ār)päsk· . |
| n5 | Adams has prekṣalle as 'court'. |
| n6 | I interpret poñe as a kind of analogical singular to poñes, instead of the expected poñ. |
