* There seems to have stood here, originally, a plain symbol for the word om, on which there were afterward overlaid two aksharas, which seem to be magi, apparently belonging to the line of writing below the scalptures above tbe body of the record (see page 199 above).

• There is a small mark between the consonant and the vowel, balf-way down the consonant, which makes it probable that was written but was not fully engraved; so, also, in sthanamu (du)van, line 14, and perhaps, bat not so probably, in dharmmadan, line 20.
One akshara is lost here. The consonant must, apparently, be either or n. The vowel must be either i ore. There is a word od davane, 'array, preparation, which, however, does not soom suitable here. Otherwise, I can only think of saddarane, for odda-mand; but I do not know whether the m of mane ever changes into ; and this word also, meaning "the house or abode of the Oddas," does not seem altogether suitable. • See note 4 above.
