page 508 note 1 Torn fragment of thick yellowish paper ; extreme length 24½ inches = 62 cm., width 12 inches = 31 cm. On the obverse 40 transverse lines, 6 fragmentary and 24 more defective, of writing in an elegant, rather cursive, Tibetan script, which occurs frequently on wooden slips from Mīrān and paper MSS. from Tun-huang. On the back memoranda in large Chinese and Tibetan characters. Found among the collection of MSS. from Tun-huang. Date : the eighth-tenth century a.d. is probable in view of the provenance of the MS.
page 508 note 2 Smaller fragment, of similar appearance, but measuring only 6½ inches = 16·5 cm. in extreme height, and 7 inches = 18 cm. in extreme width. On the obverse 10 lines, all fragmentary at both ends, of the same script as appears in No. 1; on the reverse a Tibetan document in the same hand. This fragment makes an accurate juncture with No. 1, supplying prior context of 11. 39–40 thereof. Date : as No. 1.
