## Bibliography

The discovery of this “inscribed slab” was first reported in No name
N.d., pp. 1934–35: 45–6 and described as bilingual in Pyu and “an
unknown language, probably Sanskrit”, claims repeated in Le May 1956, p.
47. Luce 1985, pp. I, 65, 75 n. 25, 131, provides an overview and
describes the inscription as “8 lines of Tircul [Pyu] and 8 interlinear
lines of Brahmi”. Sein Win [cin vaṅḥ] 2016, pp. 84–7 provides a new
reading in Burmese script. Re-edited here from our team’s RTIs.
