1.7

右從漢至唐所有翻述。具帝王年代并譯人本事。所出教等以人代先後為倫。不依三藏之次。兼敘目錄新舊同異。

The above covers all translations and compositions from the Han to the Tang, detailing the reigns and eras of emperors and kings, together with the deeds of the translators. The teachings produced and so forth are arranged chronologically according to persons and dynasties, not following the order of the tripiṭaka. It also explains the similarities and differences between old and new catalogues.
