Abstract

The following notes, which I hope to continue from time to time, are a small contribution towards the reading and interpretation of the most ancient epigraphical records of India. For Nos. 6, 14. 22, and 23, I have been able to use a photograph kindly placed at my disposal by Prof. Kielborn: on the margin is written, in Dr. Fleet's hand: - "lndo-Scythian atones which belonged to Gen. Sir Alexander Cunningham; " and it shows the front sides of the stones which bear the inscriptions mentioned above, and two other stones with inscriptions which will be dealt with later on. Except for that, I have had no fresh materials to work at, such as impressions, rubbings or photographs, but have had to rely on the reproductions published in the Archaeological Survey Reports, the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, the Journal of the Asiatio Society of Bengal, the Indian Antiquary and the Epigraphia Indica.
