Śrāmaṇera-śāstra in one fascicle (also called the Miṣa-śāstra);
Mañjuśrī-paripṛcchā-śāstra in one fascicle.
The twenty-two works in eighty-seven fascicles above, from the Great Dharma King Sūtra downward, are apocryphal sūtras in the Neidian lu, compiled in the first year of the Linde reign era of the Great Tang by the śramaṇa Daoxuan of Ximing Monastery in the capital. Xuan states: "Various apocryphal sūtras and treatises are often found among worldly scriptural collections. Their texts are still numerous; awaiting seeing them, they will be catalogued further." (The compiler says: The Neidian lu also contains the Sūtra on the Entrustment in the Golden Coffin in one fascicle, which is indeed the Sūtra on Venerating Blessings in Fajing's catalogue; hence it is not recorded again. There are also the Zhancha jing and the Yijiao lun, both of which have authentic records of their translation and transmission, and their literary style and doctrines are worthy of note. To enter them into a catalogue of apocrypha would be improper. Having already been entered into the orthodox catalogue, they are not recorded among the apocrypha.)

The eighty works in one hundred and one fascicles above, from the Sūtra on the Descent and Birth of All Buddhas downward, are apocryphal sūtras in the catalogue of various scriptures revised and established by the śramaṇa Mingquan and others of Foshouji Monastery in the Eastern Capital by imperial decree in the first year of Tiancewansui of the Great Tang Heavenly Empress. The Zhou catalogue states: "From ancient times they have been traditionally reported to be spurious and erroneous. Observing their wording, it is verbose and cluttered, and their doctrinal sense is shallow and frivolous. Though they steal the name of what the Buddha spoke, in the end they expose the appearance of human contrivance. That deluded multitudes fall into ruin is entirely due to this. Therefore, they are recorded item by item as above." (The compiler says: These eighty sūtras have never been recorded in ancient catalogues of apocrypha. The Zhou catalogue recorded them alone. Although it says that they have been traditionally reported from ancient times to be spurious and erroneous, it does not specifically indicate from which catalogues they emerged. I merely itemise them as above following the Zhou catalogue.)
Sūtra on the Buddha-Dharma Having Six Meanings, Which Ought to Be Understood as Foremost, in one fascicle (You's catalogue lacks the character "Sūtra"; it is present in Fang's catalogue);
Sūtra of the Doctrinal Gate on the Six Unhindered Supernatural Powers and the Purified Karmas of the Six Sense Bases in one fascicle (You's catalogue lacks the character "Sūtra"; it is present in Fang's catalogue).
The two works in two fascicles above are stated in the Liang catalogue of Sengyou to have been spuriously fabricated during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Qi by the bhikṣu Shi Fayuan. However, since titles were established and they formed bundles and fascicles, causing doubts and confusion for later generations, they are clearly noted in the catalogue. (Changfang's catalogue states: "The world collectively lists them and regards them as doubtful sūtras; hence they are recorded again, in the hope that later worthy people who recognise their origin will share in this warning.")
Sūtra on the Categories Formulated by the Buddha in five fascicles.
The one work in five fascicles above is stated in the Liang catalogue of Sengyou to have been compiled during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Qi by the bhikṣu Shi Wangzong. It made an extract collection of various sūtras, resembling a forest of numbered categories. However, because its title claims to have been formulated by the Buddha, he feared it would confound names and realities, and so noted it in the catalogue. (Changfang's catalogue states: "Its heading prefixes the name of a sūtra, and it was entered in advance into the catalogue; since it is not an orthodox sūtra, it is suspected by the world.")
Sūtra on Precept-Fruits Adornment in one fascicle (sometimes without the character "Sūtra"; contains an eight-stanza verse).
The one work in one fascicle above is recorded in the catalogue of the Sui Translation Scholar Fei Changfang as having been extracted from the meaning of sūtras in the fifth year of the Yongming reign era of Emperor Wu of the Xiao Qi by the regular attendant Geng Jie (the compiler says:
