1 The two horizontal strokes here and in 11. 40 and 42 denote punctuations.
The impression has clear but faint traces of the syllables chatur-. The verse contains 44 syllabies, while the diagram inserted in the inscription has only 25. I am not sure if chaturviniaty has to be corrected into chatufchatvarimiaty or panchavimfaty=.
The reading ra is pretty certain; but as this curious verse is purely made up of the five syllables contained in the word frivitardga by permutation or combination, I think the author has evidently committed a mistake in inserting the short ra (not found in irteltarága) here; ta or ga might take the place of ra if either of them would give a better sense.
I cannot trace on my copy of the inscription the syllables fri frt given at the end of Mr. Walhouse's transcript (Ind. Ant. Vol. V. p. 42), but find that the continuation of this line and the four following lines are completely erased, and that traces of the beginnings and ends of these lines are still visible on the estampage.
