Commentary

Philological commentary

There are some sort of ornamental lines on the top and the bottom of the fragment. The bottom line seems to consist of 'o'-akṣaras turned by 90°.
n1 It seems like the scribe initially wrote 'y' and then sloppily corrected it into 'ś'.
n2 Maybe tsamo yṣuwarsa 'with much friendliness'.
