| On the verso side in lines 4-5 at the right margin one sees a trace of a vertical line marking the margin (?); there is no trace of this on the recto side. Therefore this fragment may belong to the right side of the leaf. | |
| Associated with PK NS 49A, but not from the same manuscript. |
| n1 | From the remnants of the signs, a simple reading kante (it is impossible to read kantwa, as per Lévi) is not likely. A ligatura would explain the somewhat dense form of the 〈ka〉, if the visible florish indeed belongs to a 〈ka〉. |
|---|---|
| n2 | yāmorntantso with o-mobile must stand at the end of a pāda or colon. |
| n3 | °tär can, of course, be the end of a 3.sg. or 2.pl. middle verb form, or belong to sūtär ‘sūtra’. The next word seems to be the expected vocative of TB maitreye ‘Maitreya’. |
| n4 | From the remnants of the manuscript, wärpnānträ is the only likely restoration that would make sense semantically. However, one has to assume that this metrically syncopated nasal form was written with the wrong suffix in contrast to the correct spellings of such syncopated forms in two other instances on this fragment (wärpnaträ, kraupnatär). |
