a1 | ([as] upādhyāya). If (the present moment suits) the community (and [if it] is the wish of the community, this we will ask Yaśakāma with Yaśa [as] upādhyāya) |
a2 | (in the midst of the community) about any obstacles. (This is the proposition. Listen, venerable one! This [is] the time of truth for you. This [is] the time of speaking the truth.) |
a3 | (Whatever) we ask (you), thereupon (the truth you shall) speak, (the truth) according to the (truth, and say untruth as untruth.) |
a4 | [1.] Are you (male?) [2.] Are you full 20 years of age? [3.] (You are) not (a slave?) [4.] (You have) not been bought? ............... |
a5 | [8.] You have not sinned against the king? [9.] You are not (secretly(?) considering a conspiracy against the king? [10.] You are not indebted to anyone, neither a little nor much? [11.] Now among men) |
b1 | there are the following d(iseases: black leprosy, white leprosy, scrofula, tuberculosis [and] epilepsy. You) do (not) suf(fer from one of these diseases?) |

Remarks
* | According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq. |
* | From this leaf 2 fragments are preserved: one larger fragment around the string hole, consisting of 5 pieces and about 6-9 cm wide; to the right of this at a distance of about 2 cm there is a smaller fragment, about 2.5 cm wide and containing remnants of 3 lines. At the left margin 1-3.5 cm are missing. The leaf number is not preserved. |
* | The original ms. was 29 cm wide and 5.6 cm high, with the string hole 6.5 cm from the left margin. It was written by at least three hands: scribe 1, a beautiful, delicate script, from leaf 1 to 11 a1; scribe 2, distinguished by a number of orthographical idiosyncrasies/errors, from leaf 11 a1 to and including 19; scribe 3 from leaf 20 to end. The final leaves A and B THT 1123 and THT 1124 may have been written either by scribe 2 or a fourth hand. Cf. Schmidt 1986: v, 2, 5 |
* | This leaf is in hand 3. |
Linguistic commentary
n5 | so sic! to be corrected and supplemented to (puru)ṣo. krito sic! for krīto. |
n8 | Instead of the double dot at the beginning of this line one could also read [t·]. |
n12 | maiyācce for maiyyācce; nuwalyñe for nuwalñe. |
