, Dabdhrm, might possibly be a corruption of 
, Dabshrm, in which we might discern an older form of Dabshalīm = Devaśarman; but Professor Cowell writes to me: “I scarcely think that the dhrm could have come by accident. Deva is generally written after the king's name, but it might be prefixed,—deva dharma. Could it be deva Dharmarája, and the rája have been taken as only meaning ‘king’, and not as a part of the name ?”

page 9 note 3 De Sacy's Arabic text gives no name. In the Sanscrit the lion-king is called Pingalaka, of which the Syriac

The first of these is unknown to me; the second, familiar. The third ia probably derived from the Persian

, is a corruption of (canis) Hyrcanus.

page 10 note 2 Here the Syriac text adds the words
