摘要
1) A cubical stone cist once had a lid inscribed on its underside. Only a small fragment remains. Still, on phraseological grounds the inscription can be dated to the first century AD, in line with text on some dated stone cists from the area. 2) A private sales grant from the Palola or Bolor region is preserved in a duplicate notation on a strip of silk, dating to around the 4th century, possibly another sign of a Buddhist monastery being instrumental in regulating mundane business transactions.
