Inscription III.

* The original has •^fgj-qq"^-. A little on is 05^"^- also. 



f Corrected from "q-f^q^^fl^-g. We have a strange word here. Olhers 

 of the same kind are xc^feff and ^^f%^. The last qualifies a name near the 

 end of the inscription, and seems to denote an office. 



J One line ending with an erasure, and the next beginning with TgljT, 

 I have not hesitated to assume, that the missing symbol was ^. 



§ The tjjT in this compound is quite worn away ; and it has been inserted on 



conjecture. 



|| Here, and on several occasions below, a masculine substantive is turned 

 into a neuter. 



As is usual in documents of this sort, the laws of sandhi are freely neglected. 



% The word ^T^j^. " boundary," survives, in Malava, iu the same sense, under 

 the form of ^Tsj\^.
