[57] No 13. Regarding *na* (Col. III, a), which is clearly the *Nun* of the Saqqārah (Col. I, a—b) Teima, Assyrian and Babylonian inscriptions, it need be only pointed out that the forms of the Papyri are also in this case further advanced than those of the Kharoṣṭhī. The *na*, given in Col. III, b, is a peculiar Indian development, rather rare in the Aśoka Edicts.
