Commentary
Remarks
| The left and lower (recto) margins are preserved. If the fragment belongs to the same manuscript as THT 1132, the leaf number may be ‹4··›, i.e. a number in the four hundreds. The original number of lines would then be 6; b1-3 would have to be renumbered as b4-6. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | : equally possible, of course, is a conditional construction. Instead of (mā)car, one could as well restore (pā)car, (pra)car, etc. |
|---|---|
| n2 | : cf. A 151 a1 okāk prākär nasluneya(ṃ) yäṣ. |
| n3 | se: there are not many words ending in se with a vowel directly preceding (cf. Poucha 1955: 428). The most likely reading seems se 'son'. |
| n4 | klots: it is remarkable that the word for 'ear' seems to be in the singular. |
| n5 | [l·n]e: possibly a verbal noun in -lune. |
