Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | Two hapax legomena in one line. wālyiś is in complementary distribution to sāṅkiś, so it has to be the place where the oil is used. eśyai could be the oblique of a putative *eśya, and 'n·' could be the locative suffix 'ne'. Ching connects it to eśyāṣṣe (transcribing it as eśyeṣṣe for some reason) in THT 2766 a1, arguing that it is either a personal name or some derivation of ek 'eye'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The first akṣara doesn't really look like co. |
