1 This word evidently refers to the managing body of the temple.
* The letters appamum[=]dik. can also be read as =appamu[ma]rik, bat I am not able to understand it. Evidently appamum[:]dik-has to be corrected as =appamun ]darkkuk
• This line (43) has been inserted later between lines 42 and .. • The letters nilattil may also be read as milattal.
The sense oonvoyed by the lines 56-59 is not olear.
