Commentary

George Cœdès notes, regarding the character inscribed in the sign of Aries in the zodiac diagram, that it should represent the moon but that it “certainly includes the vowel e placed to its left, and its body resembles that of ma. Now me does not correspond to any of the names of the moon. But as the position of the moon in Aries is confirmed for this date by the inscription engraved on the southern jamb of the central sanctuary at Prasat Kravan, it is almost certain that the indistinct character corresponds to one of the names of this planet, probably so(ma)” (1952, pp. 172–173).

See K. 1345 for another example of zodiac diagram during the Angkorian period.
