## Commentary

This inscription consists of a single line written in Old Khmer and
located between the two front paws of one of the site’s monolithic
lions. It is nearly one meter long, and the average height of the
characters is 4 cm. The stone surface was not prepared before the
inscription was carved. As a result, the inscription is difficult to
read, particularly on the right side. However, a photogrammetric model
made it possible to read almost all the text.

The second half of the inscription is similar to the content of the
other two inscriptions at the site, which are carved on the sides of the
monolithic elephant (K. 1452-1 and K. 1451-2).

## Bibliography

First edited by Chloé Chollet with translation into French from a
photogrammetric model created by Nicolas Josso.
