Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Fortune!

(1–16) who ...

(21–31) The land that we have given tax-free ... is [as follow]s:

(31–33) ...

(33–38) ...

Commentary

Record left incomplete. A large space has been left blank between line 35 and line 36, which could accomodate at least five lines. It appears to be a vacat as the expected full description of the boundaries of the endowed land is expected here. There is also a large space left blank in line 35
