The early parts of most of the lines on faces B and C are not well photographed. On face D, all pādas b and d are not well photographed. They are transliterated here in round brackets, some appear to be lost though. Similarly, the last parts of many pādas a and c are not well photographed. Restitutions are based on the almost identical inscriptions K. 209, K. 368, K. 386, K. 435, K. 667, K. 1115 and K. 1170. ⟨A8⟩ There is no space between the pādas c and d. ⟨B2⟩ There is no space between the pādas c and d. ## Bibliography Preliminary edition by Kunthea Chhom from the photographs sent by Dominique Soutif and Adeline Levivier in August 2022.
