| n4 | ṣṭare: sic! For ṣtare, the normal form. |
|---|
| n5 | ñcäs: probably the final syllable of the same present participle which is attested later in the same line, obl. pl. knānmāñcäs. |
|---|
| n6 | mālyes, mālymes: difficult form, containing probably the negation mā, with sandhi metri causa. The form ālymes is known as the equivalent of āñmes, āymes, gen. sg. of āñcäm ‘self’, cf. A 430: a6. In that case, the sequence mālyes would be another occurrence of original mālymes, either by phonetic dissimilation or by careless writing. |
|---|
| n7 | The syllable at the end of this line one can restore to pu(täk), 3sg. preterite act. of the verb putk- ‘separate’, past participle putko. |
|---|
| n9 | wikäs is probably a form of the verb wik- ‘drive away’, present participle wikäsmām, or the like. |
|---|
| n11 | käṣṣi: according to the Old Uy. text, this substantive should be pl. nom., hence käṣṣiñä. |
|---|
| n1 | The disciple named Tiṣya is speaking: the parallel Old Uy. text starts at the bottom of the 9th leaf, recto, cf. MaitrHami 1, 9 a28–29 (cf. Ji et al. 1998: 18). The text is roughly a continuation of the dialogue between the disciples of the Brahmin Bādhari. Unfortunately, the reverse side of the 9th leaf and the recto of the 10th leaf in the Old Uy. Hami version are badly mutilated. Nevertheless, one can recognize enough passages to be sure of the identification. |
|---|
| n2 | The text is similar to MaitrHami 1, 9 b1–2 (cf. Ji et al. 1998: 18). |
|---|
| n3 | For the beginning of this line, cf. the corresponding passage in MaitrHami 1, 9 b2–3 (cf. Ji et al. 1998: 18). Up to the first line of the verso, the Tocharian text is versified, but the metre cannot be established with certainty. The line is probably to be completed as puk (wäknā) |
|---|
| n8 | Cf. the corresponding passage in MaitrHami 1, 9 b23 (cf. Ji et al. 1998: 18). The jinakke tune is a stanza of 4 x 14 (7/7) syllables. |
|---|
| n10 | palkāṃt\ : corrected after Schmidt 1999b: 281. |
|---|
| n12 | For the beginning of this line, cf. the corresponding passage in MaitrHami 1, 10 a2–3 (cf. Ji et al. 1998: 18). The tsunta tune is probably a stanza of 4 x 15 (7/8 or 8/7) syllables. |
|---|
| n13 | The restoration of the final compound is obvious. The rest of b8 is lost. |
