⟨2⟩ [2×] (sa)t(i)k(e)na mahadatasa ⬦ ta(kā)na mahaḍatasa N+vH • This appears the same individual that Sa[ṁ]tika Mahāsenadatta, occurring as donor in KnI0099, KnI00100 and KnI0292. In INSEIAD00263, which bears the same date, the donor is similarly called mahadata-, which may be short for Mahāsenadatta.

Commentary

None of the three fragments reproduced in Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014 were documented by either Robert Arlt or Vincent Tournier. The identification of Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, № 256 as a fragment of the same inscribed object is due to Robert Arlt.
