_________________________________
L. 5. The letter [la] is written slightly above the line.
L. 8. The aksharas ma[ha]vinaseliyаnaм are redundant.
L. 10. The intended word (for [na]тha[.]ti) seems to be niтhaveti, 'completes'.
L. 11. The word lost at the end of line 10 and the beginning of line 11 is Sagha (Saкgha) as suggested by A.
L. 12. The word lost between deya and karako is dhaмma as suggested by A.
L. 13. The expression partially lost at the end of line 12 and the beginning of line 13 is piya-bhаtuko as suggested by A.
L. 16. It is difficult to say whether the intended expression is paтhama-bhаgaм.
