Remarks
The codex was found in Nepal and consists of numerous Old Indo-Aryan and Middle Indo-Aryan texts (p. 381). It was previously misidentified as 'Indian paper' in the nineteenth-century catalogue by Cowell and Eggeling (p. 381). The blocks of texts are framed by margins on all four sides (p. 382).
