Commentary

Remarks

*Appurtenance to manuscript M-γ according to a label on the frame. In one frame with m-tht1322b-m-tht1322f. The upper margin (recto) is preserved. Very faint traces of lining are preserved (most clearly on the verso).

Philological commentary

n1pälkā(tär): other restorations are possible, too; for instance pälkā(t) 'saw'.
