This tablet is known to us through the generosity of Mark Geller, who identified it in the British Museum and shared with us his unpublished copy. The edition below is greatly indebted to it.
The tablet contains remains of a commentary that runs paralleled to the long Qutāru commentary MLC 1863 (CCP 4.2.M.a). The present manuscript, however, seems to be even more verbose than MLC 1863: thus, an explanation that occupies only one line in MLC 1863 (l. 2) takes up lines in this version (ll. 2–5).
The edition below is a composite edition of all three known manuscripts. To see an edition of this fragment alone, click on “Manuscript” view below.
