Commentary

Philological commentary

*Comments from Filliozat 1948:
n1The transcription stse in Filliozat and Broomhead cannot be correct. The e-diacritic, which is still visible, would have to be further to the left. Although it is tentative, I believe the most likely transcription would be le.
n2ya(maṣṣalle) is not a secure reading.
n3Broomhead transcribes [ma]lkwe(rsa) (m)[e]T (p)[u](narnaP). The akṣaras are illegible in the manuscript.
n4Last two words in small characters
