## Palaeographic description

Sukuh-style script, pointing to a 15th-century date.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Edition

⟨1⟩ kitrinira hurip· ⟨2⟩ hañar kabuyutan· ⟨3⟩ barabaṁ syala kakaliḥ

## Apparatus

⟨2⟩ hañar ⬦ haneṁ B; hane C • While the reading ñ instead of n is not
self-evident, it is clear that there is neither taling nor cecak.

⟨3⟩ barabaṁ syala kakaliḥ ⬦ baravaṁs pala kakaliḥ C • The characters
between barabaṁ and kakaliḥ were left unread by Brandes. The solution
proposed by Crucq, after consultation with Poerbatjaraka, is
implausible.

## Translation

Meritorious work of Hurip Hanyar, hermitage of Barabang, both stones.

## Translation into Dutch by Crucq 1929

Een levend gedenkteeken op een heilige plaats, dragende twee vruchten.

## Bibliography

A preliminary reading was communicated by Brandes (footnote to
Groeneveldt 1887); the text was reconsidered by Crucq (1929), in
consultation with Poerbatjaraka. The present digital edition was
established from photograph OD 6516 and from a photograph of the
estampage OD-BRIN 194.
