* It is, of course, possible to read avadhdy. But the right side of the vowel is mutilated, and the real reading was no doubt avadhiy, as the sense and the variants of the other versions require.
* Possibly anathdye. ** Read chaturhm dafn. * This might be read" nikdydní, but the double stroke abovo na is probably due to a flaw. * This looks like harhlaviydn, but the double stroke above na is probably due to a flaw in the stone. 27 The quantity of the third vowel of afhami is not certain. * The 4-stroke of yathd is not certain.
