Apparatus

⟨1⟩ bhikhu(sa)[ṁ] ⟨Fragment right⟩ [ghena]bhikhu(saṁ)[ghena] von Hinüber 2013 • Compare the phrase bhikhusaṁghena dātavā in EIAD 105.

⟨2-3⟩ pavāraṇāmahe • The right arm of the ma is a bit long, and could be read as marking a ā. We however expect ma.

⟨3⟩ puphamolaṁ ⬦ puphamaulaṁ von Hinüber 2013 • The akṣara mo is however identical to that of EIAD 105, l. 14.

⟨5⟩ ca • If a ca is indeed intended, the akṣara is poorly realized and might be read va. — ⟨5⟩ E(ko) ⟨Fragment right⟩ [1]E(ko) von Hinüber 2013von Hinüber 2013 reconstructs the expected number 1 in the beginning of l. 6. There is, however, enough space for the number to have been included at the end of l. 5.

⟨6⟩ (dh)[.][2×](dh.rā/e) von Hinüber 2013.

Translation
