Fangbian xin jing (produced together with Faye; see Gaoseng zhuan).
The above fifteen works in a total of one hundred and fifteen fascicles were translated in the reign of Emperor An at two locations, the capital Yangdu and Mount Lu, by the Dhyāna master Buddhabhadra (in the Jin language called Juexian), a master of the Tripiṭaka from North India. The monks Faye, Huiyi, Huiyan, and others carefully took it down in writing together. The Gaoseng zhuan states that Juexian produced fifteen works in one hundred and seventeen fascicles, including the Niwan and Xiuxing. According to Baochang’s catalogue, adding the Wuliangshou and the Jieben meets the number of works, yet it still falls short by two fascicles. It is not yet clear which scriptures these are. May future sages seek them widely, and perhaps continue the transmission, hoping to make up for what was lost and omitted, so that the flow of the Dharma may be fully replenished. (I investigated separate catalogues, which record the Fangdeng niwan jing in two fascicles as translated together with Master Xian; I suspect its inclusion under Xian’s biography is correct.)
Da banniwan jing in six fascicles (produced in the sixth year of Yixi at Daochang Monastery of Minister of Works Xie Shi; ancient catalogues state that Juexian translated it and Baoyun took it down; it constitutes the first ten fascicles of the larger version, the 'Mahāsaṃgha Inquiries' chapter; seen in Daozu's catalogue; also said to be in ten fascicles).
Fangdeng niwan jing in two fascicles (seen in Zhu Daozu's catalogue).
Za zang jing (the same text under different titles as Gui wen Muliang, Egui baoying, and Muliang shuo diyu egui yinyuan, being separate translations; seen in Baochang's catalogue).
Sengqi ni jieben (translated together with Juexian; the second translation, slightly different from that produced by Ke Jialuo under the Wei).
Za apitan xin in thirteen fascicles (translated together with Juexian; the second translation, largely identical to that produced by Saṅghabhadra under the Qin).
Liyou Tianzhu ji zhuan (Record of Travels in India).
The above six works in twenty-four fascicles were produced by the monk Shi Faxian of Pingyang. In the third year of Long'an during the reign of Emperor An, he set out from Chang'an and journeyed throughout India, searching far and wide for sacred traces and seeking out scriptures, vinaya codes, and treatises not yet available in the Jin. Travelling through various countries, he studied the Brāhmī script and languages, copying the aforementioned Indian texts with his own hand. Moving from north to south, he next arrived in Siṃhala, where the Buddha's tooth was kept. Every year in the third month, the king of that country would adorn a white elephant ten days in advance and send an esteemed, eloquent, and wise minister dressed in royal attire to beat a drum upon the elephant and proclaim aloud in a great voice: 'The Tathāgata dwelt in the world for forty-five years, preaching the Dharma and liberating countless kotis of people. When the conditions for living beings were exhausted, he entered Parinirvāṇa. From then until now, one thousand four hundred and ninety-seven years have passed. The world is in long darkness, and sentient beings are pitiable! Ten days from now, the Buddha's tooth will be brought out. May the Abhayagiri Vihāra prepare incense and flowers, and let all come to make offerings!' At that time, it corresponded to the first year of the Yixi reign of the Jin. Faxian returned by sea to Yangdu and translated scriptures, precepts, and treatises at Daochang Monastery. The separate biography fully details what he traversed and underwent. Calculating from the first year of Yixi (the yisi year) to the seventeenth year of Kaihuang (the dingsi year), it amounts to one thousand six hundred and eighty-one years.

The above twenty-five works in forty-six fascicles were translated by the Western monk Jidomi (in the Jin language called Heyou). All catalogues state that Jidomi produced translations during the Jin dynasty; since most titles match, this cannot be an unfounded attribution. If it was not in Jing-Luo, it must have been south of the Yangtze, though the exact emperor's reign is unknown. One work is recorded in Sengyou's Chu sanzang ji ji; the rest are all recorded in miscellaneous separate catalogues.
Dacheng fangbian jing in two fascicles (translated in the second year of Yuanxi; the second translation, slightly different from the translations by Dharmarakṣa and Saṅghada, and a different translation of the same original as the Huishang pusa suowen jing; seen in the Shixing catalogue).
Qing Guanshiyin pusa xiaofu duhai tuoluoni jing (second translation; seen in Fashang's catalogue).
Weihua zhangzhe liu xiang bai jing (translated in Guangzhou between the Jin and Song; the third translation, identical to the Liu xiang bai of Dharmarakṣa and Duomi; seen in the Shixing catalogue and Baochang's catalogue).
The above three works in a total of four fascicles were translated by the foreign layman Zhu Nandi (in the Jin language called Xifa). The catalogue above states they were translated in the Jin dynasty, though the specific reign and year are unknown; the Tang catalogue states the Liu Song era.
Wuliangshou zhizhen dengzhengjue jing (also called Fotu le jing, or Jiletitu jing).
The above single scripture in one fascicle was translated in the second month of the first year of Yuanxi under Emperor Gong by the foreign monk Zhu Fali. It is the sixth translation, largely identical to the versions produced by Zhi Qian, Saṅghavarman, Bai Yan, Dharmarakṣa, Kumārajīva, and others, with minor differences in text and title; seen in the catalogue of Shi Zhengdu.
