Commentary

Parallel texts

	Uv 1.8-1.11

Philological commentary

	Contains fragments of strophes 75d – 87a of the Anityavarga (I); the metre is 21, 21, 18, 13 syllables. The rhythm in a and b is 8/7/6, in c it is 9/9 (or 4/5, 4/5 respectively), in d it is 7/6. The content is partly the same as in THT 2, which ascertains important text supplements. Since this leaf directly preceded THT 3, it was leaf 12 of the manuscript.
n1	At the end of the line there is a remnant of an akṣara which can be interpreted as the lower part of the number 70 according to Sieg and Siegling 1949: I, 8 fn. 1.
n3	(ākṣa wertsiya)ntse supplemented according to Sieg and Siegling 1949 II, 3 fn. 1 and Sieg and Siegling 1983: 139.
n4	(pi)ntwāt and 7(8) emended according to Sieg and Siegling 1949 I, 8 fn. 5.
n5	(ywārcä sru)kenträ supplemented based on THT 2 a1.
n6	(maiwe) supplemented based on THT 2 a6; (ne)sau and srūka(lle) amended according to Sieg and Siegling 1949 I, 8 fn. 8.
n7	(kloyont)rä supplemented and amended according to ··yonträ based on THT 2 a8; ma(nt) also based on THT 2 a8 .
n8	(wnolmi aknātsañ triko)ṣ supplemented based on THT 2 b1; (ṣä koyne cai) supplemented according to Sieg and Siegling 1949 II, 3 fn. 6.
n9	(kärnānm= eṅkalñenta) supplemented based on THT 2 b3.
n10	(jātiśroṇe ñem brāhmaṇe tsäṅkoṣ sklone empelye pälsko)nts(e) supplemented based on THT 2 b4 and according to Sieg and Siegling 1949 II, 4 fn. 1.
n11	lā(ñc) o(nts)o(yttñ)e(sa) supplemented based on THT 2 b8.

Remarks

	The fragment is badly damaged. It is composed of two smaller fragments.
