				<p>First described in <bibl><ptr target="bib:ASI"/><citedRange>1926-27: 175-6</citedRange></bibl> which reports (a) a line of inscription around the upper rim of the [removable top] with names the four Buddhas of the present kalpa in Pyu followed by short extracts in Pali; (b) short Pyu inscriptions with the names the four disciples of Gautama; and (c) a continuous line of Pyu along the lower rim. <bibl><ptr target="pyu-bil:ThaMyat1963"/><citedRange>34</citedRange></bibl> includes an eye drawing and transliteration of the captions, but not of the continuous Pyu inscription round the lower rim. <bibl><ptr target="bib:Luce1985_01"/><citedRange>I, 51, 57 n. 23, 137</citedRange></bibl>, gives an overview, notes the names of the “royal donors” cited in ASI and transliterates the Pyu captions for the four Buddhas. <bibl><ptr target="bib:Falk1997_01"/><citedRange>88-91</citedRange></bibl> also cites the captions to the four Buddhas, both the Pyu and the Pali, but not the Pyu on the lower rim.
