Sūtra on Explaining Wholesome and Unwholesome Paths, one fascicle;

Sūtra on the Heavenly King Descending to Become a Pig, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Initial Bathing of the Buddha, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Twelve Worthies, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Buddha Reconciling His Father's Younger Brother Devadatta, one fascicle (from the Fifty-Five Dharmas downward, Master Dao'an states that the above ten sūtras come from the Abhidharma; now there are only nine, as one has been placed among the duplicate translations, namely the Sūtra on the Demon King Entering Maudgalyāyana's Belly);
Sūtra on Udraka Kāśyapa, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Root Texts of the Four Divisions, one fascicle (Master Dao'an states the above two sūtras come from the Dīrgha-āgama; one edition states they come from the Abhidharma);
Sūtra on Yielding Virtue, one fascicle;
Sūtra on Having the Dharmas of the Worthy, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Inquiries of Mahā-juemi, one fascicle (also called Great Juemi Sūtra);

Sūtra on Anāthapiṇḍada's Kṣatriya Family Asking Who Ought to Receive Alms, one fascicle;
Sūtra on Understanding Disputes Without Resolving Them, one fascicle (now suspected that the character for "sūtra" above is an error);

Sūtra on Inquiries by Heterodox Schools on the Root of the Dharma, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Hand-Strength of the Worthy, one fascicle;

Sūtra on Candana Taming the Buddha, one fascicle;
Sūtra on the Wicked Person, one fascicle;
Nandopananda Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Nandi-heluo Sūtra);
Sūtra on the Elders of the Four Castes Inquiring, one fascicle (the old catalogue calls it Sūtra on the Elders of the Four Castes);
Sūtra on Subduing the Buddha, one fascicle;
Essential Verses from the Bodhisattva Bhūmi Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Minor Bodhisattva Bhūmi Sūtra; now suspected to be the translation by Zhi Yao);
Verses on Contemplating and Purifying the Mind, one fascicle (the old catalogue calls it Sūtra on Contemplating and Purifying; Master Dao'an states the above two sūtras are extracted from the Jātaka Sūtra; Sengyou notes that the current Jātaka Sūtra lacks these section titles).
The above eighty-two works in eighty-two fascicles (the first three sūtras, Bhadrapāla and others, are extant, while the remainder are lost) are all ancient texts collected by Master Dao'an found in Sengyou's catalogue. Since they are called "ancient texts", it is evident they date from remote antiquity. They are now placed at the end of the Han dynasty as texts of lost origin. In Master Dao'an's original catalogue of ancient texts, there were ninety-two sūtras in total. Examining the various catalogues for the remaining ten sūtras, some specify translators while others are extracted texts; since they are already recorded elsewhere, they are removed here.
Together with the aforementioned fifty-nine works in seventy-six fascicles of previously lost anonymous translations, there are altogether one hundred and forty-one works in one hundred and fifty-eight fascicles, all designated as texts of lost origin from the Han dynasty.
