No 9. The identity of the Brāhma *tha* with the Semitic *Theth* has always been recognised and is evident enough. I may mention as a curiosity that a small cross appears inside the circle instead of a dot in the Pallava landgrant, Epigraphia Indica, Vol. I, p. 1 ff. In this document all dots are replaced by minute crosses. On the other hand, a *Theth* with a dot occurs on an Assyrian weight, see Col. III.
