Fragment 14 (Frame 33)

1. General condition: Very poorly preserved fragments with big portions missing. In many places the surface is destroyed.
2. Measurements:   10 cm x 7 cm
                               ca. 10 lines on r, ca. 7 lines on v
                               28 a/l on r, 22 a/l on v
3. Hands: Both sides are written by the same hand (scribe 18).
4. Contents: Not identified dogmatical text. The contents shows certain parallels to fragment 16 which seems to be written by the same scribe. The different format of the fragments, however, forbids consideration of them as parts of the same scroll.

Content

Non-canonical scholastic texts, Group B

Another group of dogmatical texts consists of fragments 14, 16 and 18 which are in a rather poor state of preservation. Fragments 14 and 16 were written by the same scribe, but belong according to their differing formats and pens to different scrolls.

Fragment 18 was most probably written by scribe 5 who is also responsible for fragments 4 and 11 of group A.

All fragments of group B contain passages like yadi jive bhaveadi „if he is meditating upon life“ and yadi dhama bhaveadi „if he is meditating upon dharma“. This and a number of terminological coincidences indicate their association to the same text (tradition). Due to their bad condition it is at present difficult to say anything more detailed about their contents.
