"[ll. 1-3]...having on the last occasion become one srang of copper, it was arranged that not later than...of the Bird-year
one srang of copper should be delivered. [ll. 3-5] If at
that time payment should not have been made, from one srang it should become two; and even if it should be seized from the door
of Li Rme'u Bying la gsas, it was agreed
that there should be no word [of protest]. [5-7] Witnesses are the following:
Rhul po of Phyug [m]tshams and Dar Byi rma
and Tsi bra Lha gong. These witnesses have
deposited their attestation with Rma 'A nang Bying

On Phyug mtshams as a Thousand-district of
Mdo gams see p. 106 (Ch.9.i.37, IOL Tib J
751), vol, 1 Thomas_1935:
p. 279. The surnames Li and Dar are
instanced in the consolidated list infra (p. 113 sqq.); Rma
has occured supra (p. 20: Fragment.67, IOL Tib J 1126); Rhul po occurs p. 215 (M.Tagh.0050); Tsi
bra (for Tsib ra?) is not known, but is, no doubt,
name of some district.
