The opening mark stands in the margin; the same sign is repeated atthe end of leaf 2. It is a simpler version of the one seen at the end of PYU 44. tesañ ca There is a rightward curl at the top of the vertical element in <ñ>, that could possibly be interpreted as <-ā>, but we assume it is a somewhat overdone serif. Evaṁvādi mahāsamano The expected form would be Evaṁvādī mahāsamaṇo. Same irregularities in leaf 2. satipaṭṭhānā satipaṭṭhāuā (misprint) Ariyasaccāni Ariyasacohāni (misprint) Asaddhāraṇāni Tun Nyein corrects Asādhāraṇāni in note. Aṭṭhiṅgiko Tun Nyein corrects Aṭṭhaṅgiko in note. dasabalāni Tun Nyein silently corrects dasabalāni. cundasa Tun Nyein silently corrects cuddasa. buddhaññāni buddhakoni correcting buddhayonī in note; emend buddhañāṇāni. . The two bars are connected by a small cross-bar. Evaṁvādi mahāsamano The expected form would be Evaṁvādī mahāsamaṇo. Same irregularities in leaf 1. -sappanno Tun Nyein corrects -sampanno in note. -sārathī -sārathi Akāliko Akāliko Silent correction. Opaṇāyiko Tun Nyein corrects Opanayiko in note. Editions of the canon show either Opaneyyika or Opanāyiko. || The closing sign here corresponds to the opening sign of leaf 1, and reveals that the two leaves form one whole.

First edited by Tun Nyein (); published again — with some improvements offset by a number of inaccuracies — by Finot ().

Based on published reproductions and photographs furnished by the British Library, the inscription was re-edited and published on our experimental website. The XML source code underlying the latter () was adapted for this database by Arlo Griffiths in 2026.
