Abstract
The fragment Mainz 857 (verso) of the Berlin Turfan Collection contains a parallel to text F of the miscellaneous manuscript U 5335 (edited Berliner Turfantexte 34). The vertical lines (columns), which comprise an Old Uyghur translation of the beginning of the prologue to the Abhidharmāvatāra (T. 1554: 入阿毘達磨論 ru apidamo lun), are arranged in such a way that they proceed from right to left, contrary to the usual left-right direction.
