yañasātakaṇisa saṁvachare 10 gimhānaṁpakhe 5 satikaṇa mahadatasa dāna chatamahācetiye .

pakhe 5 satikaṇa mahadatasa takāna mahaḍatasa The individual mentioned here appears to be the same as Sa(ṁ)tika Mahāsenadatta, occurring as donor in KnI0099, KnI0100. In KnI0263, the donor is similarly called mahadata-, which may be short for Mahāsenadatta. Also, in both inscriptions, the ending satikana, as opposed to satikena in KnI0100 (and probably in KnI0099) may be understood as standing for satikāna, a genitive plural of belonging.

… In the 10th year of King Gotamīputta Siri-Yaññasātakaṇṇi, in the 5th fortnight of summer. An umbrella for the Great Shrine: the gift of Mahādatta of the Sa(ṁ)tika family.

None of the three fragments reproduced in were documented by either Robert Arlt or Vincent Tournier. The identification of 256 as a fragment of the same inscribed object is due to Robert Arlt.
