Sir John Marshall'S excavations have again brought important results. A new Kharoṣṭhī inscription has been found, which throws new light on the difficult question of the eras used in a series of Indian Kharoṣṭhī inscriptions belonging to the Pahlava and Kuṣāṇa periods. In May last Sir John was good enough to let me have excellent photographs of the new epigraph, for the purpose of editing it in the Epigraphia Indica. In consideration of its great importance, he has, moreover, kindly allowed me to publish a preliminary account in this Journal.

As proposed by ProfessorThomas, , Gōttingische gelehrte Anzeigen, 1931, p. 6Google Scholar the final clause of the Patika inscription must be read as mahadanapati Patika saja uvajhae[na*] Rohiṇimitreṇa ya ima[mi] saṃgharame navakamika, the great gift-lord Patika together with the upādhyāya Rohiṇīmitra, who is overseer of works in this Saṃgharāma. Professor Thomas explains saja as sadya, and translates “at present upādhyāya“, but it seems more probable that saja is Vedic sacā, which Professor Rapson has traced in the Kharoṣṭhī documents from Turkestan.
