Dear all,

  The well-known author and historian William Dalrymple (also in this list?) had today on Twitter a good thread on the Mīrān frescoes (https://twitter.com/DalrympleWill/status/1524612464054202368), in which he states that the Mīrān monastery "was founded c400 CE near the spot where some of the very earliest surviving fragments of the text of the Mahabharat were recently dug up." I am aware of tablet KI 523 (https://gandhari.org/catalog?itemID=1672), which—if I recall correctly—loosely parallels a passage of the Śāntiparvan, and also of the parvan list in the so-called Spitzer manuscript from Kizil, but that's it.
