c10.s1.t3.2

Signs of interpunctuation are not found in the Kharoṣṭhī inscriptions. But the Dhammapada from Khotan offers at the end of each verse a circular mark, often made negligently, but resembling the modern cipher.⁸ At the end of a Vagga appears a sign, which is found at the end of various inscriptions, *e. g.*, F.GI (CII. 3), No. 71, plate 41 A, and which probably is intended to represent a lotus.
