tga siri
tga Could be <nga>. siri We read <ri>rather than <dhi> here; the loop on the akṣara is large, making it look like <dh>, but the serif of an <r> is still visible. Note same shape of <ri> in PYU 8.1. tga nga siri sibi sidha

U San Win, Daw Le Le Win and Daw Sanda-U in Middleton (2005: 173)

auspicious city (nagara thiri)

Middleton's statement that the inscription is in Pali is incorrect.

Is the text complete, or should we indicate that the beginning and end are missing?

Reported in 173-4 (App. 58), thought incorrectly reported as Pali in Pyu script instead of Pyu (in Pyu script). Middleton gives three possible readings: <nagara thiri> (auspicious city), <ngasibi> or <ngasidha>; but we read <tga siri> instead. Re-edited here from a published photograph.
