Commentary

Remarks

	According to Schmidt 1986b: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq.
	This fragment may belong with THT 1119; cf. Schmidt 1986b: 34-35, where recto and verso are tentatively turned around; or perhaps THT 1120, cf. op.cit., p. 6.
	A small fragment, about 3 cm wide, containing the remnants of 1-2 lines.
	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 1986b: v, 2, 6.
	This fragment is in hand 3.

Philological commentary

	The [k]· could also be read as [r]·, [a] or ·[u].

Linguistic commentary

n1	nerwānäś for nervānäś.
n2	yamaṣale for yamaṣṣälle.
