Commentary

Remarks

*According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq.
*This fragment belongs in the beginning of lines a1, a2 and b4, b5 of THT 1117, q.v. (cf. Schmidt 1986: 34).
*A small fragment, about 2 cm wide, from the top margin, containing the remnants of 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 1986: v, 2, 6
*This leaf is in hand 3.
