As can be seen from the photographs used by Schlingloff as well as from the
ion of the fragments prepared by Spitzer, 64, 73 and 76 were originally one fragment. In my opinion fragment 18 also belongs to the same leaf and could be placed to the right of the combined fragment as follows. Note, however, that the space between the two resulting fragments must have been larger than it appears below; the original size of the leaf was some 40 cm length
The transliterations that accompany the combined images below generally follow the conventions used in the catalogues of the Turfan Sanskrit manuscripts: + is used for a missing aksara... for an illegible aksara, for a partly illegible aksara: aksaras or parts of aksaras in [] are uncertain or difficult to read, in added by me, and in { } to be deleted (.e, are scribal mistakes). /// represents the breaking point of a fragment, and stands for
