Many of those at Prome have been photographed by the Government, and other illustrations are given in de Beylié's book, together with the dates to which they are ascribed, those of de Beylié being earlier than others. Three of the pagodas, the Baubaugyî, Payagyî and Payama, attributed to the 7th and 8th centuries, are by de Beylié put down as 6th century—certainly too early; the square temple at Lemyet-hnâ, also at Prome, is ascribed to the 9th century, that is to say, long before the introduction of the southern school of Buddhism from Thatôn.
