[A]nuvasikaṁ dātavaṁ pavāraṇām(a)⟨3⟩he puphamolaṁ kāhāpaṇa cha 6 ⟨4⟩
gaṁthanasutasa palāni paṁca ⟨5⟩ (5)divatelasa (ca) kuḍo E(ko) ⟨Fragment

## 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
2013 • von 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

(...) the monks’ order must give at the (occasion of the) Pavāraṇā
festival, as price for flowers six — 6 — kāhāpaṇas, for the string for
tying (flowers) 5 — five — palas, one — (1) — kūḍa of lamp oil (...)
