388 THE GRAVE-STONE OF SULTAN MANSUR SHAH. 
It might be well also to call attention to the littie misprints 
in spelling, which might be overlooked and might later lead to real 
mistakes :— 
(a) The first -)\bl.J\ (as-suléan) in the reading of Plate I 
should be written ¢yelul) (lis-sulian)as we find it correctly writ- 
ten in the Romanised reading; and the word ( > )ee5 should read 
( is) ) pn 
(b) The words \a Sen on page 3 should, I think, read 
Any Ne 
(c) The words ea ot (lats a’d-dunia.) in the reading of 
Plate III should read \goi en (laisa lv’d-dunia), 
That the “n” of ¢\eLN\ and the “r” of Mansur cannot be 
traced may indeed be due to the mistakes of the mason. So also 
may the absence of any dots or diacritical points (tite) from the 
inscription be accounted for. But it is quite possible also that 
both have their explanation in (b) 5 above, or may have been 
worn out because of their smallness. 
On any other matter regarding this subject, I am not able to 
form any independent idea; nor have any strong view to express 
beyond that, in my opinion, the reconstructions are really very 
ingenious, and the reading certainly much more acceptable than 
the one which used to be accepted before it.
