Commentary
Philological commentary
| There is a great likelihood that this fragment and THT 66 belong to one and the same leaf. The 4x11-syllable-metre (rhythm = 6/5) we have already met in THT 64. Since there is only one strophe number (8) preserved in this fragment, and because of the scantiness of both fragments, recto and verso side cannot be determined with any certainty. The translation, too, is frequently in the dark. Between the fragments there appears to be a gap of about 10-12 syllables. | |
| n1 | According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 94 fn. 5 tsälpmoymar is a writing error for correct tsälpoymar. |
| n2 | Since empreṃtsñe – klä – constitutes a colon with six syllables, a form of the causative stem of ākl- ‘to teach' seems the most likely restitution. |
| n3 | Because of the accent, the only likely restoration is a gen. añ(mantse). |
Remarks
| The original manuscript is missing, but was the remnant of the right side of a leaf, composed of two fragments and badly damaged. Probably belongs to the same leaf as THT 66. |
